The Reporter (Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin)
''The Reporter'' is a daily newspaper based in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin owned by Gannett. It serves primarily Fond du Lac and northern Dodge County in East Central Wisconsin. History The ''Reporter'' traces its founding to August 22, 1870 when the ''Fond du Lac Commonwealth'', which had been a weekly newspaper since 1856, began daily circulation. However, the first incarnation of the ''Fond du Lac Daily Reporter'' did not start until 1883, when L. A. Lange founded a new newspaper for Fond du Lac to compete with the ''Commonwealth'', publishing Monday through Saturday. This was the first paper to have a telegraph line in the Fond du Lac area, giving it a slight advantage over competing papers, with most eventually folding during the rest of the 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1917, L. A. Lange was succeeded by his son A. H. Lange, as publisher of the ''Daily Reporter'', beginning a tradition of Lange family involvement with operations throughout the rest of the 20th century. ...
