The Frederick News-Post is the local newspaper of Frederick County, Maryland. Ever since a massive televised, radio, print and sign media campaign began referring to it as The FNP, others have begun to do so as well. In addition to discussing local news, the newspaper addresses international, national, and regional news. Historically, the paper was printed six days a week, but now includes a Sunday edition first introduced in 2002. Today, the paper typically has a press run of roughly 43,000 a day.
[edit] History
On October 15, 1883, a Frederick printing company first published The News, an evening newspaper that would eventually become The Frederick News-Post. In 1916, through a business deal, The News acquired rival paper The Frederick Post, publishing The News in the evenings and The Frederick Post in the morning. In 2002, the two papers were merged to create a single morning edition known as The Frederick News-Post. The Sunday edition created in October of that year created a true daily paper published 365 days a year.
