Company
Background The Clarion-Ledger is the second oldest company
in the state of Mississippi, and it is one of only a few newspapers in the nation
that continues to circulate statewide. The Clarion-Ledger began
in 1837 in Jasper County as The Eastern Clarion. Thomas and Robert
Hederman bought The Clarion-Ledger in 1920. In 1982, Gannett purchased
The Clarion-Ledger. In 1983, The Clarion-Ledger won
the coveted Pulitzer Prize for a package of stories on Mississippi's education
system. In January 1996, The Clarion-Ledger's news and business
functions moved to the facility expansion facing Jackson City Hall. And in September
1996, the renovation on the west side of the building which now houses the circulation
and production facilities was completed.
The move from 311 East Pearl
Street to 201 South Congress was more than a change in address and facing position.
It is considered the beginning of a new era in the publishing history for The
Clarion-Ledger. Over the years, The Clarion-Ledger has taken
many firm stands on issues. The newspaper has played a major role in the history
and future of Mississippi.
