HistoryThe history of the Reno Gazette Journal begins more than 125 years ago with the founding of the Nevada State Journal in 1870. Just six years later, the Reno Evening Gazette began publication. In 1939, Spiedel Newspapers, Inc., a small company that owned newspapers located primarily in the West, acquired the two newspapers. Then, in 1977, Speidel Newspapers merged with Gannett Company, Inc., providing more resources for development and improvement of the local papers, including construction of a dramatic new office building with state-of-the-art printing facilities in 1981, on its current site at 955 Kuenzli Street, near downtown Reno. On October 7, 1983 the two newspapers merged into the Reno Gazette-Journal, a daily morning edition. In 1999 the company purchased Eastern Sierra Publishing, a commercial print operation in Carson City; and in 2000 purchased the Mason Valley News, Fernley Leader and Dayton Courier, weekly newspapers that serve Yerington, Fernley and Dayton.SpecialtiesOur mission:
