''The Cincinnati Post'' is an afternoon daily newspaper published in Cincinnati, Ohio . It is owned by The E. W. Scripps Company . ''The Post'' was first published by Frank and Walter Wellman on 1881 - 01-03 . It was originally called the ''Penny Post''. ''The Kentucky Post'' was created as an edition of the paper in 1885 to serve Cincinnati's suburbs across the Ohio River . It was acquired in the early twentieth century by Charles Phelps Taft , the half-brother of President William Howard Taft . In the 1950s , it absorbed ''The Cincinnati Times-Star'', another afternoon paper. It first published on 1880 - 06-15 , when the ''Spirit of the Times'' (founded in 1840 ) and the ''Cincinnati Daily Star'' (founded in 1872 ) merged. The combined papers would be published under the name ''The Cincinnati Post and Times-Star'' until 1974 - 12-31 ; afterward it was simply ''The Cincinnati Post''. In , the ''Enquirer'' informed the ''Post'' it would not be renewing the agreement upon its expiration 2007 - 12-31 . This will most likely lead to the closure of the ''Post'' and give the'' Enquirer'' a monopoly in the Queen City. In the spring of 2004 , the'' Post'' ended its distribution in the northern suburbs in Butler and Warren Counties to concentrate on Hamilton County and its Kentucky edition. Also in that same year political cartoonist, Jim Stahler left the Post for the Columbus Dispatch . In June 2005 , the paper announced it was offering employees early retirement in advance of the paper's probable closure. EXTERNAL LINKS |
