History
The ''Star-Gazette'' was the first newspaper of the now massive Gannett conglomerate. It was founded as the weekly ''Elmira Gazette'' in 1828 and became an evening daily in 1856. Frank Gannett bought a half-interest in the newspaper in 1906 to begin what would eventually be Gannett Co., Inc. The following year, he merged the ''Elmira Gazette'' with a competitor, the ''Evening Star'', to form the ''Star-Gazette''. In 1923, Gannett bought two other competitors in the city: the morning ''Daily Advertiser'' and the ''Sunday Telegram''. The ''Star-Gazette'' and ''Advertiser'' combined as a single all-day newspaper in 1963. The ''Star-Gazette'' became a morning publication in 1982. The ''Telegram'' nameplate was dropped from the Sunday edition in 1985.See also
