The Journal-Express was a weekly newspaper in Knoxville, Iowa. Founded in 1855, its publication was discontinued in May 2020, when it was merged with the Oskaloosa Herald as part of a series of cutbacks by owner CNHI, LLC that resulted from business losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
It was published on Friday, and had a circulation of 2,034 two years before it was discontinued as a separate title.[1]
The Knoxville Journal was founded in 1855 by William Milo Stone, later a Civil War hero and Iowa governor.[2] In those years, the paper expressed the growing sentiments of a newly minted Republican party.[2] The Express was built out of the old Marion County Democrat paper, founded in 1865.[3]
