History
The
Post and Record was formed by various newspaper mergers conducted by Amherst Blakely beginning in 1872 when he purchased the
Central Record. He later purchased
The Federal Union, creating
The Record and Union. In 1892, he purchased
The Rochester Post, creating
The Post and Record. Amherst Blakely had co-founded
The Rochester Post in 1859 with his brothers, but sold his interest shortly after to move to Chicago and edit
The Chicago Evening Post. The
Rochester Daily Bulletin was started by Archie Gove, who sold to
Allen Furlow and Gregory Gentling in 1912, who sold the publication to Glenn Withers in 1916. The
Rochester Post-Bulletin was created when
The Post and Record and
The Rochester Daily Bulletin merged in 1925 with Withers as owner and Clarence Blakely as business manager. The Withers family ran the paper from 1925 until Bill Boyne took over in 1979. As of 2013, the
Post-Bulletin employs 150 people.
The Post Bulletin publishes a monthly magazine, Rochester Magazine,
On May 16, 2019, it was announced that Fargo, North Dakota based Forum Communications would purchase the Post-Bulletin from the Small Newspaper Group.
