History
editOn December 1, 1959, The Zanesville Times Recorder began printing 7-days a week, merging with The Zanesville Times Signal.
In October 1970, The Zanesville Publishing Company, owned by the Littick Family sold the paper to the Thomson Newspaper Publishing Company of Chicago.
On April 6, 1992 the last daily paper was printed in Zanesville. Printing operations was moved to Newark, Ohio.[2]
In July 2000, Gannett completed purchase of 19 Thomson Newspapers, including the Zanesville Times Recorder.[3]
In early 2014, Gannett announced that they would be moving printing operations from their downtown Newark location to Columbus, to be handled by The Dispatch Printing Company located at 5300 Crosswind Drive Columbus, Ohio.[4]
On November 7, 2015, the historic downtown offices were vacated with office operations moved to the Northpointe Center at 3871 Gorskey Drive. Records from the Muskingum County Auditor show the downtown building was sold from Gannett to Tofino LLC in 2015, with the City of Zanesville subsequent purchasing the property in 2016. [5]
