The Watertown Public Opinion is a six-day daily newspaper published in Watertown, South Dakota, United States, serving eastern South Dakota and western Minnesota. It publishes in the afternoon, Monday through Friday, and a weekend edition on Saturday morning.

The fourth largest newspaper in South Dakota, it has been owned since 2016 by Schurz Communications out of South Bend, IN.[1]

History

Founded two years before South Dakota statehood, the Public Opinion in its first 110 years had a succession of local owners, including Stitzel X. Way, whose family ran it for 94 years before selling to UCC March 1, 2002. On September 1, 2016 Schurz Communications Inc (SCI), a Mishawaka, IN based family-owned newspaper and cable TV operator, purchased the newspaper from United Communications Corp. in a private family-to-family transaction. The P/O joins the Aberdeen (SD) "American News" and "Farm Forum" as part of the new Dakota Media Group, owned and operated by SCI.
