The State Journal is a broadsheet newspaper mainly serving Frankfort, the capital of Kentucky, and the rest of Franklin County.
The paper is a descendent of The Kentucky State Journal, which originally was an eight-page, six-column Democratic morning daily. The Kentucky State Journal was established January 7, 1900, by John Meloan, its first editor and manager.
On February 9, 1911, The Kentucky State Journal united with The Frankfort News to become The Frankfort News-Journal. Shortly thereafter, on June 20, 1912, the paper gained its current name under editor Graham Vreeland.
The paper now prints Sunday through Friday. It was published by Frankfort Publishing, L.L.C., a subsidiary of Dix Communications of Wooster, Ohio, for 53 years until 2015. At that time, it was sold to Frankfort Newsmedia, an affiliate of Boone Newspapers. It has a daily circulation of 7,729 and a Sunday circulation of 10,229.
The editor since early 2013 has been Dan Liebman, former editor of The Blood-Horse magazine. The former editor since 1979 had been Carl West, a member of the Kentucky Journalism Hall of Fame. West now serves as editor emeritus.
