The Dallas Morning News (1885 - present) is a daily newspaper published in Dallas, Texas, and since its founding has generally been the newspaper with the highest circulation in that city. The company was founded in 1885 as a spin-off of the Galveston Daily News by Alfred Horatio Belo, a Civil War veteran who was an officer in the Confederate army before moving to Texas and becoming involved in the newspaper industry. Belo found great success, first with the Galveston Daily News and then with the Dallas Morning News (managed by longtime and trusted employee George Bannerman Dealey), largely because he embraced telegraphy, railroads, and later telephones as a means of rapidly communicating information that could be immediately incorporated into news print. The newspaper's parent company was named after Belo for many years but in 2021 changed its name to DallasNews Corporation in light of Belo's service in the Confederate army.
