History
The newspaper was established in 1884 by J. G. Murphy, the city's second mayor. Mr. Murphy sold the paper in the 1920s to Houston Harte. In 1924, it became one of the two original flagships of the Harte-Hanks newspaper chain.[http://www.texnews.com/arn/harte.html Abilene Reporter News: About Us] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927015149/http://www.texnews.com/arn/harte.html |date=September 27, 2007 }}, accessed January 24, 2007.
