History

Publishing since 1848, and as a daily newspaper from 1865 to 2020, the Courier is Ottumwa's oldest business. In 1890, it was the original flagship of A.W. Lee's media company, later called Lee Enterprises. The company sold the Courier to Liberty Publishing Group in 1999; two years later, Liberty sold it to CNHI, which has owned it since then.^[5]

In May 2020, the CNHI newspaper Daily Iowegian was discontinued and merged with Ottumwa Courier; this was one of the 16 publications shut down by owner CNHI due to business losses associated with the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.^[6]
