The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier is a daily afternoon newspaper published by Lee Enterprises for people living in Waterloo and Cedar Falls, Iowa as well as northeast Iowa.
The first issue of The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier was published on November 22, 1859, by WH Hartman and George Ingersoll. [2] The Courier changed to a daily newspaper in 1890, publishing in the afternoon every day except Saturday. [2]
Howard Publications bought the Waterloo Courier and Cedar Falls Record in 1983. At that time, the Courier had been owned for 128 years by the same family, and had a daily circulation of around 55,000 in 1983. The circulation of The Record was about 4,000. [3] Lee Enterprises acquired the Howard chain in 2002. [4]
