The
Detroit News is one of the two major newspapers in the U.S. city
of Detroit, Michigan. The paper began in 1873 when it rented space
in the rival Free Press's building. The News claims
to have been the first newspaper in the world to operate a radio
station, station 8MK, which went on the air August 20, 1920. 8MK
is now WWJ. In 1947, it birthed Michigan's first television station,
WWJ-TV, now WDIV-TV.
