History
The Southern Illinoisan was created in 1947 when Lindsay-Schaub Newspapers of Decatur, Illinois, purchased three area newspapers -- the Daily Free Press of Carbondale, the Murphysboro Daily Independent and the Herrin Daily Journal -- and merged them into a single publication. Lee Enterprises purchased the Southern Illinoisan and other Lindsay-Schaub papers in 1979.
