Pantagraph is a daily newspaper that serves Bloomington-Normal, Illinois, along with 60 communities and eight counties in the Central Illinois area. Its headquarters are in Bloomington and is owned by Lee Enterprises. The newspaper has an estimated 107,000 daily readers. The name is derived from the Greek words "panta" and "grapho", which has a combined meaning of "write all things."[2]
Bloomington businessman Jesse W. Fell founded the newspaper on January 14, 1837, making it the oldest-running business in McLean County. It was originally called The Bloomington Observer and McLean County Advocate. Through the years, the newspaper went through several name changes, such as The Whig, The Intelligencer, The Daily Pantagraph and The Pantagraph in 1985, finally shortened to just Pantagraph in 2006.[3][4]
Pantagraph is a news partner of WEEK-TV, which is situated in East Peoria, Illinois.[5]
