History
[edit | edit source]The Jamestown Journal (weekly) was founded in 1796 by Adolphus B. Fletcher.[2] The Jamestown Journal (daily) was founded by Fletcher in June 1826.[3][4] In 1941, the Jamestown Evening Journal and Jamestown Post consolidated.
On March 13, 2014, the entirety of the newspaper's Web site was placed behind a paywall. The paywall was removed November 1, 2016. The site had previously been behind a paywall for most of the early 2000s but that paywall was also removed.
On May 4, 2024, the Post-Journal began using the U.S. Postal Service for home delivery of the print edition.[5]
