History
The Hattiesburg American was founded
in 1897 as a weekly newspaper, the Hattiesburg Progress. In 1907,
the Hattiesburg Progress was acquired by The
Hattiesburg Daily News. When the U.S. entered World War I in
1917, the newspaper was renamed the Hattiesburg American. The Hattiesburg American was
purchased by the Harmon family in the 1920s and was sold to the Hederman family
in 1960. Gannett Company acquired the newspaper in 1982.
In the early 1960s, the Hattiesburg American spoke
out against the development of the Republican Party in
Mississippi. In 2005, the Hattiesburg American received
Gannett's 10th Freedom of Information Award for outstanding work on behalf of
the First
Amendment. In 2009,
Gannett began reducing its workforce, newsprint costs, and consolidating
operations. Publication of the Hattiesburg Americanwas moved to
Gannett's Clarion-Ledger facility in Jackson,
Mississippi. In 2010, Gannett announced its intention to sell the 38,000
square foot building which houses the Hattiesburg American operations
at 825 North Main Street, and an agreement was reached with a Hattiesburg
Commercial Realtor to sell the building.
