The Plain Dealer has been one of Cleveland's most distinguished citizens for more than a century and a half.
At the beginning of its own history in 1842, J.W. Grey, the paper's first editor, gave his new journalistic enterprise a simple name and a noble purpose: "We shall endeavor to make THE PLAIN DEALER what its name imparts, the fearless advocate of truth, of liberty in faith, liberty in government, liberty in trade," Gray wrote in the newspaper's first editorial.
In 1842, attention to a paper's name was no trifling matter, with no less than six newspapers (including the even more colorfully titled Eagle-Eyed News Catcher) vying for atttention in a town of little more than 6,000 people.
Its name is one of the few things about The Plain Dealer that hasn't changed since that January 7, 1842, when the paper sailed forth on a $1,000 investment, with 300 subscribers and a production facility of a single, hand -powered press and "one swearing roller boy," as Gray described it.
The Plain Dealer resumed publication in 1865, but it wasn't until 1885 when, under the direction of Liberty E. Holden, the paper assumed the strict policy of political impartiality and objectivity in news coverage that continues to this day.
By 1933, The Plain Dealer was one of the three newspapers in Cleveland, the others being The Cleveland News (which began in 1880) and The Cleveland Press. Soon After, The Plain Dealer purchased the Cleveland News Thomas vail became editor in 1933.
