Times Union (Albany)

The Times Union, or Times-Union, is an American daily newspaper, serving the Capital Region of New York.

Although the newspaper focuses on Albany and its suburbs, it covers all parts of the four-county area, including the cities of Troy, Schenectady and Saratoga Springs.

The paper was founded in 1856 as the Morning Times,[2] becoming Times-Union by 1891,[3] and was purchased by William Randolph Hearst in 1924.

The editor of the Times Union is Casey Seiler, who has held the post since Feb. 1, 2020.

The Times Union announced in May 2006 that it would pay $3.5 million over 10 years for the naming rights of the Pepsi Arena in downtown Albany.
