The Columbus Dispatch
The Columbus Dispatch is a historic daily newspaper based in Columbus, Ohio, and has been serving the community since its founding on July 1, 1871. As the city’s longest-running newspaper, it has documented significant events in local and national history for over 150 years. The Dispatch has evolved from its original conservative editorial stance to a more centrist approach, particularly noted during the 2016 election. The newspaper provides comprehensive coverage of local politics, business, sports, and culture, including Ohio State University athletics. It also maintains a searchable historical archive dating back to 1871, accessible through partnerships with local libraries. Special features include the popular “Cook’s Corner†recipe exchange column and a variety of comics and cartoons. In 2023, Gannett Co. donated the Dispatch’s photo archive to the Columbus Metropolitan Library for digitization, further enhancing public access to its historical content.
