The Akron Press was a newspaper serving Akron, Ohio. It was founded in 1898.
It began as the Akron edition of the Cleveland Press Penny,[1] printed in Cleveland and transported to Akron by train. It gained local flavor when it began being printed in Akron.[2] By 1903 it was described as distinct.[3]
By the early 1920s it was competing with the Akron Times. The two then joined together on March 14, 1925[1] to become The Times-Press,[4][5][6] as the town was not big enough for both.[2]
L. E. Judd, from circa 1921,[7] was editor of the combined newspaper.[1][2][8][9][10] Its stereotyping department was headed by Joseph J. Metker,[11] an international stereotyper,[12][13] and in 1929 his son Robert succeeded him.[11] In 1923, for a brief period, Henry C. Segal worked as a reporter for the Akron Press.[14] In 1927, the newspaper was renamed the Akron Times-Press[15] and existed until 1938.[16]
