The history of the Palladium-Item

he Palladium-Item is Richmond’s oldest business. The first issue of the Richmond Palladium, forerunner of the PalladiumItem and Sun Telegram, was printed by Nelson Boon, its founder, on Jan. 1, 1831. Boon’s grandfather, Squire Boon, was a brother of Daniel Boone, famous Kentucky frontiersman. Nelson Boon chose to drop the “e” in Boone. The Palladium-Item is the third-oldest newspaper in Indiana in continuous publication. The two older papers are the Vincennes Sun-Commercial, 1804, and the Lafayette Courier & Journal, 1829. A number of consolidations have occurred since the first issue was printed on a hand press. In 1907, the Sun-Telegram, which was a combination of four newspapers between 1861 and 1897, was consolidated with the Richmond Palladium. The Richmond Item, founded in 1877 and published in the morning starting in October 1916, was acquired in 1929. The Palladium Publishing Corp. continued issuing the Richmond Palladium and the Richmond Item as two separate newspapers until 1939 when they were combined into the Palladium-Item, with afternoon and morning editions six days a week excluding Saturday. In September 1977, the morning and evening papers were combined into an allevening paper and the newspaper started publishing seven days a week. In June 1976, the PalladiumItem became the 54th daily newspaper in the nationwide Gannett group. In August 1976, all departments except the press and mailroom operations moved from 19 N. Ninth St. to 1175 N. A St. Operations were combined at the North A Street location in August 1984. Printing of USA Today began Sept. 10, 1984. The Palladium-Item Web site, www.pal-item.com, was launched in January 2001 and

continues to grow. Page views are in the millions each month and unique visitors are in the hundreds of thousands. The site changes throughout the day with breaking news and updates and features photo galleries, videos, events, calendars, opportunities for readers to submit their own news and photos, and more. Online features include Cops and Courts, Careerbuilder, cars.com, ShopLocal, Pal-Item Homes and Apartments.com. A mobile version, m.palitem.com, can be delivered via cell phone. The Palladium-Item also posts news stories daily on its news and sports pages on Facebook. News, features and sports stories are also sent out on Twitter feeds by the PalladiumItem and by individual reporters. Other features and products are always in production. In January 2009, the Palladium-Item’s production facilities were combined with those of The Indianapolis Star, also a Gannett publication. The Palladium-Item is printed each night on the Star’s presses and trucked to Richmond each morning for distribution to vendors and residential subscribers. Why is the newspaper called the Palladium-Item? “Palladium” refers to the Greek goddess, Pallas Athena, whose warlike nature was provoked by injustice and interference with constructive, peaceful living. Pallas Athena was the Goddess of Wisdom and considered a symbol of protection. The term “Palladium,” denoting the protection of the rights of people, is believed to have come from Greek history where theft of a statue of Pallas Athena from ancient Troy is said to have resulted in Troy’s destruction. There are several newspapers in the United States with “Palladium” in their names.
