[[File:Detroit Evening Times Building.jpeg|thumb|The Detroit Evening Times offices on the corner of Cass Avenue.]] Six different newspapers called The Detroit Times have been published in city of Detroit. The first iteration of the Detroit Times was an antislavery bulletin only printed from May to November 1842 by Warren Isham. The second iteration began in November 1854. Published by G.S. Conklin and E.T. Sherlock, with John N. Ingersoll as editor. The paper was purchased that same month by Ingersoll and Tenny, and sold again in December 1855, to an association of journeyman printers, who published the paper until the spring of 1856. The third version was established in April 1881; it was likely discontinued before the end of 1881 after being bought by "The Sunday Herald". The fourth Detroit Times, a daily and Sunday, was printed from December 4, 1883 to February 26, 1885 at 47 West Larned Street and was run by a stock company. The paper's managers were Charles Moore, Charles M. Parker, D. J. McDonald and Frank E. Robinson. A fire on the morning of April 11, 1884 completely destroyed the printing plant; with the assistance of the other Detroit printing establishments, the edition was printed without interruption. Lloyd Breeze purchased the paper November 22, 1884; the paper was suspended on February 26, 1885. Five years later, James E. Scripps, owner of the Detroit News, set out to prove a point: he started the fifth version of the Detroit Times and sold it for a penny a copy. After printing it for 18 months and proving he could make a profit selling a newspaper for a penny, Scripps absorbed the Times into the Detroit News. The Times was brought back to life by James Schermerhorn on October 1, 1900 as Detroit Today but quickly changed its name to the Evening Times. The paper was purchased, after the property having been placed in the hands of a receiver, by William Randolph Hearst in the later part of 1921. At the time Hearst purchased the paper it was located at 131 Bagley Street; Hearst wasted no time working out plans for a new state-of-the-art printing plant. After the purchase of the paper by Hearst the Times became the fastest growing paper in the city. Hearst dispatched famed editor Fred Copely to Detroit to kickstart the Times. With the backing of the Hearst Newspapers the paper rivaled the Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press in the great Detroit newspaper war. ==Members== [[File:Newsroom.jpeg|thumb|c|The newsroom, located on the top floor]] * [[The Stars Are Right: The Irish Rose: Fred Copely | Copely, Fred]] * [[The Stars Are Right: Jack Casey | Casey, Jack]] * [[The Stars Are Right: The Irish Rose: Dick Foley | Foley, Dick]] * [[The Stars Are Right: Frank Lovejoy | Lovejoy, Frank]] ==Affiliations== ''None known'' ==Associates== ''None known'' ==Documents== ''Main article: [[The Stars Are Right: The Irish Rose: Documents | Full list of documents in the campaign]]'' {| class="wikitable sortable" style="width:100%" ! scope="col" width="7%" | Date !! scope="col" width="50%" | Title !! scope="col" width="22%" | Author !!
