Reno Gazette-Journal Reno, NV
The Reno Gazette-Journal was founded on Nov. 23, 1870 as a weekly called the Nevada State Journal. Noteworthy honors include covering the Olympics in nearby Squaw Valley in 1960, and a Pulitzer Prize in 1976.
In the newspaper’s lifetime it has never missed an issue, despite the challenges of a plant fire, power failure and press breakdown; surviving 20 ownership changes; 11 moves to new printing sites; a strike in 1959; and seven 20th century floods, the latest occurring in 1997.
