👉 Marion, Ohio in the context of The Marion Star

The Marion Star (known as The Marion Daily Star until 1926) is a daily newspaper in Marion, Ohio. The paper is owned by USA Today Co., formerly the Gannett Newspaper organization. It was founded in 1877 by Sam Hume and, in its early years, was so unprofitable that it became insolvent in 1884. After the business was put up for auction at a sheriff's sale, it was purchased by Warren G. Harding, future president of the United States of America. Harding made the newspaper commercially successful and owned it until he sold the business to Roy D. Moore and Louis H. Brush, who later founded Brush-Moore Newspapers, in 1923, two months before his death. The Star was acquired by Thomson Newspapers in 1967 and the Gannett Company in 2000.
