Evening News Association

The Detroit News is an American conservative daily newspaper published in Detroit, Michigan, United States. It is owned by USA Today Co., which also owns the main historical rival the Detroit Free Press. Both newspapers operated under a joint operating agreement from 1989 until 2025. The paper began in 1873, when it rented space in the rival Detroit Free Press's building. The News absorbed the Detroit Tribune on February 1, 1919, the Detroit Journal on July 21, 1922, and on November 7, 1960, it bought and closed the faltering Detroit Times. However, it retained the Times building, which it used as a printing plant until 1975, when a new facility opened in Sterling Heights. The Times building was demolished in 1978.
