The Henderson Gleaner (or, simply, The Gleaner) is the daily newspaper in Henderson, Kentucky.
The Gleaner publishes Tuesday through Sunday mornings. It hasn't published on Mondays since its founding in the 1880s.
The Gleaner was locally owned for more than a century, but was purchased by The E.W. Scripps Company on October 31, 2000 and became part of the Evansville Courier & Press. Scripps later divested their newspaper holdings, and on April 1, 2015 the Journal Media Group became the owners.
The editor is Tom Lovett.
Clarence Christian (C .C.) Givens founded The Gleaner in 1883 in Providence, Kentucky, located approximately 35 miles south of Henderson. Givens remained there for six months, then moved his newspaper farther south to Madisonville, Kentucky. In July 1885, Givens relocated the Gleaner to Henderson. It became a daily publication in 1888 with the exception that it produced no Monday edition, and was published as the Henderson Morning Gleaner.
The Gleaner wasn't the city's first or only newspaper. The Columbian first published in 1823, and the Henderson Reporter was in production from 1853 through 1885. At least a dozen other newspapers also operated in Henderson for various lengths of times, but few if any copies of those papers have survived.
The Gleaner was also a peer of the Henderson Journal, founded in 1883 as a weekly afternoon paper. One of its founders was Edmund L. Starling, a colonel with the Union Army during the Civil War, a former mayor of Henderson and a former editor of the Reporter. Starling in 1887 produced the History of Henderson County, a thick volume that has served as a foundation for subsequent Henderson history books.
