The Daily Gazette is an independent, family-owned[2] daily newspaper published in Schenectady, New York.[3] The Daily Gazette also owns and operates The Amsterdam Recorder, The Gloversville Leader-Herald and Your Niskayuna.
History
[edit]The Daily Gazette was founded as a weekly newspaper by the Marlette family in 1894. It was sold to the Schenectady Printing Association in September of that year, and expanded into a daily newspaper, while still publishing its weekly edition. By 1895, it had a circulation of 3,000 copies a day.[4]
In 1990, the paper began publishing a Sunday edition. In 1996, the Gazette launched its free website, which it turned into a subscriber-based website in 2003. As of 2020[update], it offers a select number of free articles online per month, with full access available by subscription.[5]
Judith Patrick became editor of the newspaper in 2012. She was the first woman to have the position.[6] The board of directors appointed John DeAugustine as publisher in 2013.[7]
In December 2019, the Gazette Company acquired the Amsterdam Recorder, Courier-Standard-Enterprise and Fulton County Express.[8] In 2021, the Gazette Company acquired The Gloversville Leader Herald.[9] In 2024, the Gazette Company acquired The Register Star in Columbia County and The Daily Mail in Greene County.[10]
In May 2024, the Hume-Lind family agreed to sell the paper to its publisher John DeAugustine. The family had owned the paper since 1984[11]
