Omaha World Herald
Founded in 1885 by Gilbert M. Hitchcock, the Omaha World-Herald provides news, commentary, information and advertising that encourages readers to become involved in the world around them. The World-Herald is a statewide Nebraska newspaper that delivers to more readers in southwest Iowa than any other Iowa newspaper.
In 1963, Peter Kiewit purchased The World-Herald to ensure the paper would continue to be locally owned. In his will, Kiewit provided for the newspaper to be sold to its employees, and it has been employee owned since 1979. The World-Herald is the second-largest employee-owned daily newspaper in the United States.
Lincoln Journal Star
Lincoln was a two-newspaper town for much of its history. The Lincoln Star, owned primarily by Lee Enterprises, was the morning paper and the Lincoln Journal, owned primarily by the Seacrest family, published in the evening. That changed in 1995 when Lee bought out the Seacrests, closed the evening newspaper and introduced an expanded Lincoln Journal Star.
The Lincoln Journal Star is the premier news and information source in Southeast Nebraska. Along with the area’s leading daily newspaper, we publish several niche publications, have a direct mail operation, several web sites and a commercial printing operation.
