Greenville News

In 1874 The Greenville News started off as a four-page publication by A.M. Speights. For a one-year subscription, it was only eight dollars. After five different owners and many various editors, the Peace family under the leadership of Boney Peace bought the paper in 1919 from Ellison Adger Smyth, around the same time that Greenville was becoming known as “The Textile Center of the South.” The Peace family acquired the evening paper The Piedmont in 1927. In 1965 both papers helped to create the Multimedia Inc. Then in 1995, the less significant afternoon paper and the larger morning paper merged to become The News-Piedmont. In December 1995 Gannett purchased Multimedia, changing the newspaper name back to The Greenville News. Today The News prints over 100,000 newspapers a day.
