The Press-Citizen was formed in 1920 from the merger of two newspapers: the
In 1937, Spiedel hired architect Henry L. Fisk as consulting architect for a new Streamline Moderne style building for the paper.[2] Located at 319 E. Washington Street, the building also housed a mural by artist Mildred W. Pelzer, Symphony of Iowa. In 1966, the mural was restored by Forrest Bailey, who was commissioned by Richard Feddersen for the work. The painting was later donated by Fedderson to the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art.[3]
The Press-Citizen switched from afternoon to morning publication on September 15, 1997. On August 29, 1999, the Press-Citizen began publishing a Sunday edition that includes local news and sports sections packaged with the Sunday state edition of another Gannett newspaper, The Des Moines Register.[4]
On February 15, 2015, the Press-Citizen announced that it would be discontinuing the Sunday edition on March 1 of the same year. Subscribers instead receive The Des Moines Sunday Register on Sundays which includes articles written by Press-Citizen reporters.
