First printed in 1794 as the "Lancaster Journal," the Intelligencer Journal was the largest circulation newspaper in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It also was the oldest continuous newspaper in the United States of America that had not changed its name.
The Lancaster New Era was founded in 1877 as a newspaper in Lancaster with the goal of taking the Republican state machine to task and ushering in a New Era in politics. In 1920, the New Era merged with another Republican newspaper, The Examiner. In 1923, Paul Block, Sr. bought the New Era-Examiner and aimed it to compete with the morning Intelligencer and afternoon New Journal, both published by the Steinmans. It failed and Block sold the then-renamed New Era to the Steinmans in 1928. The Steinmans merged the Intell and the Journal into the morning Intelligencer Journal, and published the New Era as an afternoon newspaper continuously on every day of the week except Sundays, until 2007 when the Saturday edition was eliminated and the content moved to the Saturday morning Intell.
