History

Four newspapers merged in July 1946 to form the Effingham Daily News—the Effingham Daily Record, Effingham Democrat, Effingham Republican and County Review. The McNaughton family, which owned the paper for 46 years, sold it to Park Communications in December 1992.{{Cite web|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1992-09-11-9203230054-story.html|title=Honey, I Fired the Kids|date=1992-09-11|access-date=2020-03-29|website=Chicago Tribune|last=Smith|first=Wes|archive-url=https://archive.today/20200329152722/https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1992-09-11-9203230054-story.html|archive-date=2020-03-29|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1992-10-18-9204040277-story.html|title=Publisher’s Family Gets the Boot Again|date=1992-10-18|access-date=2020-03-29|website=Chicago Tribune|last=Smith|first=Wes|archive-url=https://archive.today/20200329154733/https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1992-10-18-9204040277-story.html|archive-date=2020-03-29|url-status=live}} The paper was sold again in 1996 to Media General Inc., and to CNHI in 1997.
