History

On January 1, 1888, the first edition of the ''Ogden Standard'' was published. In 1904, the newspaper became rivals with the ''Ogden Examiner''. Subsequently, on April 1, 1920, the two competitors merged, creating the ''Standard-Examiner''. The ''Standard-Examiner'' kept its offices in the Kiesel Building, just west of 24th Street ( SR-53) and Washington Boulevard ( US-89), until 1961 when the offices moved to 455 23rd Street. The building would remain there for 39 years. During that time, the newspaper, still owned by Glasmann's descendants, was sold to the Ohio-based Sandusky Newspaper Group (SNG). It is the largest-circulation newspaper owned by SNG. In 2000, the ''Standard-Examiner'' moved to
