The Longview News-Journal is the major newspaper printed in the City of Longview, Texas. Dating to 1871 under independent publishers, including James Hogg, later Texas governor, and Carl Estes, Longview civic figure, the publication was purchased by Cox Newspapers in the 1980s and sold by Cox to ASP Westward in 2009. It is closely affiliated with the Marshall News Messenger, a former Cox Newspaper published out of nearby Marshall, Texas that was sold to ASP Westward along with the News-Journal. Operating out of its modern 3-story brick editorial offices in downtown Longview, it has a circulation in 11 East Texas counties of about 25,000 customers on weekdays. (Source: Audit Bureau of Circulations) Its receptionist area contains several historical documents, including a copy of a telegram that Adolf Hitler wrote to the people of New London following the explosion in 1937 (See New London School explosion).
