About the Times-Picayune: New Orleans, Louisiana's Oldest Newspaper
Established as The Picayune in 1837 by Francis Lumsden and George Wilkins Kendall, the paper's initial price was one picayune, a Spanish coin equivalent to 6¼¢ (half a bit, or one-sixteenth of a dollar).[3] Under Eliza Jane Nicholson, who inherited the struggling paper when her husband died in 1876, the Picayune introduced innovations such as society reporting (known as the "Society Bee" columns), children's pages, and the first women's advice column, which was written by Dorothy Dix. Between 1880 and 1890, the paper more than tripled its circulation.[4] The paper became The Times-Picayune after merging in 1914 with its rival, the New Orleans Times-Democrat.[5]
From 1947 to 1958, the paper operated a radio station, WTPS, launching first on FM at 94.7 MHz on January 3, 1947, and adding an AM station at 1450 kHz a year later. WTPS(AM) later moved to 940 kHz.[6] The stations primarily aired music, but also included newscasts drawn from the paper's staff and live broadcasts of local high school, college, and professional sports. Both stations went off the air in 1958.[7]
In 1962, Samuel Irving Newhouse, Sr., bought The Times-Picayune and the other remaining New Orleans daily, the afternoon States-Item. The papers were merged on June 2, 1980[8] and were known as The Times-Picayune/States-Item (except on Sundays; the States-Item did not publish a Sunday edition) until September 30, 1986.[9]
In addition to the flagship paper, specific community editions of the newspaper are also circulated and retain the Picayune name, such as the Gretna Picayune for nearby Gretna, Louisiana.
The paper is owned by Georges Media, whose chairman is New Orleans businessman John Georges.
In the vernacular of its circulation area, the newspaper is often called the T-P.
