Scranton Times
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Scranton Times was an afternoon daily newspaper in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Its sister paper was The Scranton Tribune, a morning paper. The papers were produced by many of the same staff and featured much of the same local content, except for timely updating.
These two newspapers were merged into a single morning newspaper, The Times-Tribune, in the summer of 2005.
The Scranton Times was founded in 1870, and purchased by the Lynett family in 1895. It is owned by Times Shamrock Communications [1], a privately held company owned by the Lynett family.
The paper won a Pulitzer Prize in 1946 under the Public Service category for "its fifteen-year investigation of judicial practices in the United States District Court for the middle district of Pennsylvania, resulting in removal of the District Judge and indictment of many others," according to the prize's official website.
