THE COLUMBIAN, USA (Washington)
THE COLUMBIAN is a daily newspaper serving the Vancouver, Washington, and Clark County, Washington area. The paper was published for its first decade (1890–1900) as a four-page daily that was meant as a counterweight to the local Republican newspaper The Independent. Printer Tom Carolan began publication of The Vancouver Columbian on October 10, 1890.
It successfully hedged out daily competition, such as the former INDEPENDENT, to become the sole daily in the city today. A former weekly THE SUN which published for 39 years prior to going daily; was absorbed by the Columbian and for a time the paper was published as THE VANCOUVER COLUMBIAN AND THE SUN.
