The Detroit News

The Detroit News has an online version, including a separate website for connections from European Union countries that does not track personal information.

The paper's eventual success, however, is largely credited to Scripps' son-in-law, George Gough Booth, who came aboard at the request of his wife's father.

It was designed by architect Albert Kahn, who included a faux-stone concrete building with large street-level arches to admit light.

The bricked-in arches on the east and south ends of the building were reopened during renovations required when the Free Press relocated its offices there 20 years later.

In 1931, The Detroit News made history when it bought a three-place Pitcairn PCA-2 auto-gyro as a camera aircraft that could take off and land in restricted places and semi-hover for photos.

The strike was resolved in court three years later, with the journalists' union losing its unfair labor practices case on appeal.

August 3, 2005, Gannett announced that it would sell The News to MediaNews Group and purchase the Free Press from the Knight Ridder company.

On December 16, 2008, Detroit Media Partnership announced a plan to limit weekday home delivery for both dailies to Thursday and Friday only.
