The paper's association with Cox began August 15 , 1892 , when James M. Cox purchased the ''Dayton Evening Journal''. One week later, on August 22 , he renamed it the ''Dayton Daily News''. A Sunday edition was launched on November 2 , 1913 . In 1948 , Cox purchased two morning papers, the ''Journal'' and the ''Herald'', from Colonel Lewis Rock . The next year he combined them to form the '' Dayton Journal-Herald . '' For the next four decades, the ''Journal-Herald'' was the conservative morning paper, and the ''Dayton Daily News'' (which had a larger circulation) was the liberal evening paper. The papers operated newsrooms on separate floors of the same building in downtown Dayton. On September 15 , 1986 , the ''Journal-Herald'' and the ''Daily News'' were merged to become a morning paper, the ''Dayton Daily News and Journal-Herald'', with both names appearing on the front page. The ''Journal-Herald'' name last appeared on the paper's front-page flag on December 31 , 1987 . The newspaper's editorial position is generally Democratic, befitting both its Democratic hometown and the person who gave the paper its current name. Cox was the 1920 candidate for U.S. President , and the city of Dayton has voted for the Democratic Candidate in Presidential elections since. In 1998 reporters Russell Carollo and Jeff Nesmith would win the Pulitzer Prize for their reporting on dangerous flaws and mismanagement in the military health care system, a series very relevant to its readership because of the presence of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in neighboring Greene County . The paper is the home of cartoonist Mike Peters , who draws the Mother Goose And Grimm strip and won the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning in 1981 , and daily columnist Dale Huffman . The paper's editorial offices are located in downtown Dayton, but the paper is printed in a modern facility adjoining Interstate 75 in Franklin, Ohio , about fifteen miles to the south. BIBLIOGRAPHY
