Petoskey News-Review A place to share and discuss news that affects Petoskey News-Review readers. He printed on a headpress, feeding each sheet into the press one at a time.

The first newspaper in Emmet County was founded by Rozelle Rose in Petoskey in 1875. He had to repeat the process to print the other side. The pages were then hand inserted together and hand folded. That same year, The Little Traverse Republic was founded in Harbor Springs by Warren Bowen. Three years later, in 1878, two ...more papers emerged, The Emmet County Independent in Harbor Springs, the P

etoskey City Record, and a summer supplement called The Daily Resorter. Over the years, these diverse editions were bought, sold and changed names to finally consolidate as The Emmet County Graphic in Harbor Springs and The Petoskey Evening News. In the 1930s, William F. Schaller stepped into the press picture and started The Northern Michigan Shopping Review, which soon changed its name to The Northern Michigan Review. In 1953, The Northern Michigan Review and The Petoskey Evening News merged under the name Petoskey News-Review with Albert Schaller as publisher. In the late 1950s, the News-Review merged with The Emmet County Graphic. Today, the News-Review prints a 5 days a week daily edition and a separate summer supplement called The Graphic. The Schaller family was the guiding force behind the daily paper in Northwestern Michigan beyond Traverse City for a half-century. At the time of his death on July 10, 1979, Albert Schaller had been in the publishing business for 56 years, and expanded News-Review interests to include the Ga***rd Herald-Times, Charlevoix Courier and The Graphic. Kirk Schaller, then retail ad manager, started the Super Shopper, and later as president and publisher began PhoneGuide Community Telephone Directory in 1987. Kirk Schaller died Feb. 25, 2001. Under the guidance of Albert and Kirk, the News-Review became the second daily newspaper in Michigan to be printed by the then-revolutionary photo offset process. Other members of the Schaller family are still involved in the business through PhoneGuide, including Kirk's wife, Elsa, and his children Gretchen and Patrick. In 2006, Northern Michigan Review was purchased by Schurz Communications, Inc. (SCI), based in South Bend, Indiana. SCI is a diversified privately owned, nationwide communication company with premier properties that are among the most valued and trusted in the news and information industry. In 2019, Schurz sold the newspaper and its sister publications to GateHouse Media. GateHouse Media merged with Gannett Media in 2020.
