The Morning News (American newspaper)
- The Morning News (American newspaper)
"The Morning News" is a daily newspaper with a circulation of about 35,000, based in Florence, South Carolina. It is owned by Media General.
It was founded as the "Farmers' Friend" in 1887, and was part of several mergers and name changes. In its early history it was aligned with the Democratic Party.
In 1945 it became the "Florence Morning News". In 1956, then-editor Jack O'Dowd enraged the Ku Klux Klan by supporting the U.S. Supreme Court's "Brown v. Board of Education" desegregation decision and he was run out of town, going to a job with the "Chicago Sun-Times". Since then, the paper has been steadily pro-civil rights. The only other South Carolina newspaper that took the progressive stance in the 1950s and 1960s was the "Greenwood Index Journal". Since then "The Morning News" has been one of the fastest growing newspapers in the state.
