History

Frederick P. Johnson and Bert Bell founded the weekly Boulder Camera in 1890,^[3] and it became a daily in 1891. From 1891 to 2011, the Daily Camera operated in a building at the corner of 11th and Pearl Streets (1048 Pearl).^[4] When the paper moved to its new location at 5450 Western Ave. in Boulder, it donated more than 100 years of archived material to the Carnegie Branch Library for Local History.^[5]

Ownership has changed over the years. In 1892, L.C. Paddock joined Johnson; during this time, three generations of the Paddock family owned the Daily Camera. L.C. Paddock was editor and publisher from 1892 until 1940. His son A.A. Paddock joined the staff in 1910 and became editor and publisher in 1940. A.A.'s son Laurie Paddock succeeded his father as editor in 1960.^[6] The paper has been owned by Ridder (1969–1974), Knight Ridder (1974–1997), Scripps (1997–2009) and MediaNews Group (2009–present).^[7] In 2013 MediaNews Group and Digital First Media merged under the Digital First Media name. Alden Global Capital controls Digital First Media.^[2]

The official name of this newspaper at various times has been the Boulder Camera, the Boulder Daily Camera, the Daily Camera, the Camera, and most recently the Daily Camera once again. All of these are still in common usage as nicknames for the paper.
