History
The newspaper started in 1804 as the Pennsylvania Correspondent and Farmers' Advertiser, a weekly newspaper in Doylestown. In 1876, the Bucks County Intelligencer moved to an ornate building at 10 E. Court St. in Doylestown, where it was located until 1973.
In 1886, the newspaper became a daily, which called itself The Doylestown Daily Intelligencer.
In 1973, The Daily Intelligencer moved to its current headquarters at 333 N. Broad St. in Doylestown, and dropped the "Daily" part of its name in the 1990s.
Up until the 1970s, it published as an afternoon newspaper Monday through Saturday. It dropped the Saturday edition for a short time in the late 1970s when it added a Sunday morning edition.
It also published a sister newspaper, the Montgomery County Record (later The Record) in the 1980s and 1990s. As the Montgomery County Record, it was an independent subsidiary competing with its parent newspaper, arriving on the same doorsteps as The Daily Intelligencer.
Later, as The Record, that sister paper was merely a Montgomery County edition of The Daily Intelligencer.
Owned by Calkins Media, Inc., The Intelligencer now publishes a morning edition six days a week, publishing it seven days a week until February 7, 2009, when it dropped its Saturday edition.
In addition to its daily newspaper publication, The Intelligencer also posts news online. The newspaper has its own website on phillyBurbs.com, a site it shares with sister Calkins Media newspapers Bucks County Courier Times and Burlington County Times. On June 22, 2008, The Intelligencer changed its website from phillyBurbs.com/intell to intelligenceronline.com and also launched intelligencerNOW.com, a continuous news website that updates the news throughout the day.[2]
