The Daily Nonpareil is a daily newspaper serving Council Bluffs and a 10-county area of southwest Iowa.

The Daily Nonpareil is southwest Iowa's largest newspaper.[1] It was founded on May 2, 1857.[2]

The paper was acquired in 2011 by Berkshire Hathaway when it bought the paper's then parent the Omaha World-Herald and its other subsidiary newspapers in Kearney, Nebraska, Grand Island, Nebraska, York, Nebraska, North Platte, Nebraska and Scottsbluff, Nebraska.[3] The World-Herald acquired partial ownership in 2000 and full ownership in 2007.[4]

Unusually, the paper made a dual-party endorsement in 2016, endorsing both Bernie Sanders and John Kasich as the best-qualified nominees of the two major parties.[5]

From 1965 to 2000 it was owned by newspaper chains[6] including Thomson Newspapers[7] and MediaNews Group.[8]
