Walker and <a href="/wiki/John_Norvell" title="John Norvell">John Norvell</a>, former editor of Philadelphia's largest newspaper, the Aurora & Gazette. An <a href="/wiki/Editorial" title="Editorial">editorial</a> in the first issue of The Pennsylvania Inquirer promised that the paper would be devoted to the right of a minority to voice their opinion and "the maintenance of the rights and liberties of the people, equally against the abuses as the usurpation of power." They pledged support to then-<a href="/wiki/Andrew_Jackson" title="Andrew Jackson">President Andrew Jackson</a> and "home industries, American manufactures, and <a href="/wiki/Internal_improvements" title="Internal improvements">internal improvements</a> that so materially contribute to the agricultural, commercial and national prosperity."<a href="#cite_note-Inqhistory-6">[6]</a> The Philadelphia Inquirer is the third-oldest surviving daily newspaper in the United States. In 1962, an Inquirer-commissioned historian traced The Inquirer to <a href="/wiki/John_Dunlap" title="John Dunlap">John Dunlap</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Pennsylvania_Packet" title="Pennsylvania Packet">The Pennsylvania Packet</a>, which was founded on October 28, 1771. In 1850, The Packet was merged with another newspaper, The North American, which later merged with the <a href="/wiki/Public_Ledger_(Philadelphia)" title="Public Ledger (Philadelphia)">Philadelphia Public Ledger</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Pressa-7">[7]</a> The Public Ledger, in turn, merged with The Philadelphia Inquirer in the 1930s. Between 1962 and 1975, a line on The Inquirer's front page claimed that the newspaper is the United States' oldest surviving daily newspaper.<a href="#cite_note-Inqhistory-6">[6]</a> If the lineage of The Packet and The North American is counted in the newspaper's history, The Inquirer would currently be the longest continuously published newspaper in the nation. Six months after The Inquirer was founded, with competition from eight established daily newspapers, lack of funds forced Norvell and Walker to sell the newspaper to publisher and United States Gazette associate editor <a href="/wiki/Jesper_Harding" title="Jesper Harding">Jesper Harding</a>. In 1829, The Inquirer moved from its original location between <a href="/wiki/Front_Street_(Philadelphia)" title="Front Street (Philadelphia)">Front</a> and 2nd streets to between 2nd and 3rd streets. After Harding acquired The Pennsylvania Inquirer, it was briefly published as an afternoon paper before returning to its original morning format in January 1830. When Harding bought and merged the Morning Journal in January 1830, the newspaper was moved to South Second Street. Ten years later, The Inquirer moved again, this time to its own building at the corner of Third Street and Carter's Alley. Harding expanded The Inquirer's content, and the newspaper soon grew into a major Philadelphia newspaper. The expanded content included the addition of fiction. In 1840, Harding gained rights to publish several <a href="/wiki/Charles_Dickens" title="Charles Dickens">Charles Dickens</a> novels for which Dickens was paid a significant sum, even though the common practice was to pay little or nothing for the rights of foreign authors' works.<a href="#cite_note-Inqhistory-6">[6]</a> Harding retired in 1859, and was succeeded by his son, William White Harding, who had become a partner three years earlier. William Harding changed the name of the newspaper to its current name, The Philadelphia Inquirer. In an attempt to increase <a href="/wiki/Newspaper_circulation" class="mw-redirect" title="Newspaper circulation">circulation</a>, Harding cut the price of the paper, began delivery routes and had newsboys sell papers on the street. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="American_Civil_War">American Civil War</h4> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=The_Philadelphia_Inquirer&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: American Civil War" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> In 1859, circulation had been around 7,000; by 1863 it had increased to 70,000.

Following the Civil War, The Inquirer faced financial challenges, and Harding became ill. Despite Philadelphia's population growth, distribution fell from 70,000 during the Civil War to 5,000 in 1888. In 1889, the newspaper was sold to publisher James Elverson, who moved The Inquirer to a new building that included the latest printing technology. Elverson also increased the newspaper's staff. A new Inquirer premiered on March 1, 1889, and was successful enough that Elverson launched a Sunday edition of the newspaper. In 1890, in an attempt to increase circulation further, the price of The Inquirer was cut and the paper's size was increased, mostly with <a href="/wiki/Classified_advertising" title="Classified advertising">classified advertisements</a>.

Elverson Jr. bought land at <a href="/wiki/Broad_Street_(Philadelphia)" title="Broad Street (Philadelphia)">Broad</a> and Callowhill Streets and built the 18-story Elverson Building, now known as the <a href="/wiki/Inquirer_Building" title="Inquirer Building">Inquirer Building</a>. The first issue of The Inquirer was printed at the new building on July 13, 1925.

During the period between Elverson Jr. and Annenberg The Inquirer stagnated, its editors ignoring most of the poor economic news of the Depression. The lack of growth allowed <a href="/wiki/J._David_Stern" title="J. David Stern">J.

During that same period the Record's circulation had dropped to 204,000 from 328,322. In 1939, Annenberg was charged with <a href="/wiki/Tax_avoidance_and_tax_evasion" class="mw-redirect" title="Tax avoidance and tax evasion">income tax evasion</a>.

In 1947, the Record went out of business, and The Philadelphia Inquirer emerged as Philadelphia's only major daily morning newspaper. While still trailing behind Philadelphia's largest newspaper, the <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_Bulletin" title="Philadelphia Bulletin">Evening Bulletin</a>, The Inquirer also continued to operate profitably. In 1948, Walter Annenberg expanded the Inquirer Building with a new structure that housed new printing presses for The Inquirer.

In 1958, a 38-day strike in 1958 hurt The Inquirer and, following the strike, so many reporters had accepted buyout offers and left that the newsroom was noticeably empty, leaving many copy clerks with little experience responsible for reporting. One of the few star reporters of the 1950s and 1960s was investigative reporter <a href="/wiki/Harry_Karafin" title="Harry Karafin">Harry Karafin</a>, who exposed corruption and wrote exclusive stories for The Inquirer, but also <a href="/wiki/Extortion" title="Extortion">extorted</a> money out of individuals and organizations.

Between 1970 and 1985, however, The Inquirer experienced eleven strikes, the longest of which, in 1985, lasted 46 days.

In the late 1980s, however, Knight Ridder expressed concern about The Inquirer's profitability and took a more active role in its operations. Knight Ridder pressured The Inquirer to expand into the more profitable Philadelphia suburbs, while at the same time cutting staff and coverage of national and international stories.<a href="#cite_note-Columbia-18">[18]</a> Some of The Inquirer's best reporters accepted buyouts, and left for <a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a> and <a href="/wiki/The_Washington_Post" title="The Washington Post">The Washington Post</a>.

The newly launched newspaper supported the ideology of <a href="/wiki/Jeffersonian_democracy" title="Jeffersonian democracy">Jeffersonian democracy</a> and the political leadership of then <a href="/wiki/President_of_the_United_States" title="President of the United States">U.S. president</a> <a href="/wiki/Andrew_Jackson" title="Andrew Jackson">Andrew Jackson</a>, declaring support for the right of the minority's opinion to be heard.<a href="#cite_note-Inqhistory-6">[6]</a> In founding of The Inquirer, according to legend, Norvell said, "There could be no better name than The Inquirer. In a free state, there should always be an inquirer asking on behalf of the people: 'Why was this done? Why is that necessary work not done? Why is that man put forward? Why is that law proposed? Why? Why? Why?"<a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a> When Norvell and Walker sold their newspaper to Jesper Harding, Harding kept the newspaper close to the founder's politics and supported the <a href="/wiki/Democratic_Party_(United_States)" title="Democratic Party (United States)">Democratic Party</a>. However, Harding disagreed with Andrew Jackson's handling of the <a href="/wiki/Second_Bank_of_the_United_States" title="Second Bank of the United States">Second Bank of the United States</a>, and he began supporting the anti-Jackson wing of the Democrats. During the <a href="/wiki/1836_United_States_presidential_election" title="1836 United States presidential election">1836 Presidential election</a>, Harding supported the <a href="/wiki/Whig_Party_(United_States)" title="Whig Party (United States)">Whig party</a> candidate over the Democratic candidate, which led The Inquirer to become known as a pro-Whig newspaper.<a href="#cite_note-Pressa-7">[7]</a> Before the <a href="/wiki/American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War">American Civil War</a> commenced in 1861 The Inquirer supported the preservation of the <a href="/wiki/Union_(American_Civil_War)" title="Union (American Civil War)">Union</a>, and was critical of the <a href="/wiki/Abolitionism" title="Abolitionism">abolitionist movement</a>, which some felt was responsible for succession of <a href="/wiki/Confederate_States_of_America" title="Confederate States of America">Confederate</a> states.<a href="#cite_note-phillyhistory-57">[57]</a> Once the Civil War began, The Inquirer reported neutrally and independently on the war, but firmly supported the Union.<a href="#cite_note-Inqhistory-6">[6]</a> At first, editors of The Inquirer opposed <a href="/wiki/Emancipation_Proclamation" title="Emancipation Proclamation">emancipation</a>. Following military setbacks of the <a href="/wiki/Union_Army" class="mw-redirect" title="Union Army">Union Army</a>, however, The Inquirer began editorializing in support of a more pro-Union and pro-<a href="/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)" title="Republican Party (United States)">Republican</a> stance. In a July 1862 article, The Inquirer wrote, "in this war there can be but two parties, patriots and traitors."<a href="#cite_note-phillyhistory-57">[57]</a> When James Elverson assumed leadership of The Inquirer, he declared, "the new Inquirer shall be in all respects a complete, enterprising, progressive newspaper, moved by all the wide-awake spirit of the time and behind in nothing of interest to people who want to know what is going on every day and everywhere...steadily and vigorously Republican in its political policy, but just and fair in its treatment of all questions..."<a href="#cite_note-Inqhistory-6">[6]</a> During the <a href="/wiki/1900_Republican_National_Convention" title="1900 Republican National Convention">1900 Republican convention</a> in Philadelphia, Elverson set up a large electric banner over <a href="/wiki/Broad_Street_(Philadelphia)" title="Broad Street (Philadelphia)">Broad Street</a> that declared "Philadelphia Inquirer – Largest Republican Circulation in the World."<a href="#cite_note-Pressa-7">[7]</a> At the turn of the 20th century, the newspaper began editorial campaigns to improve Philadelphia, including the paving of major streets and ending what the newspaper saw as a corrupt plan to buy the polluted <a href="/wiki/Schuylkill_Canal" title="Schuylkill Canal">Schuylkill Canal</a> for drinking water. The newspaper maintained these editorial positions under Elverson's son, Elverson Jr.. By the 1920s, The Inquirer became known as the "Republican Bible of Pennsylvania".<a href="#cite_note-Inqhistory-6">[6]</a> Between 1929 and 1936, while under Patenotre and Curtis-Martin, The Inquirer continued to support the Republican party and <a href="/wiki/Herbert_Hoover" title="Herbert Hoover">President Herbert Hoover</a>, and did not provide much reporting on <a href="/wiki/Great_Depression" title="Great Depression">Great Depression</a>. Statistics on unemployment or business closings were ignored, even when they were conveyed by the <a href="/wiki/Federal_government_of_the_United_States" title="Federal government of the United States">federal government</a>. As some Philadelphia banks closed during the Great Depression, news of their closing was relegated to the back of the newspaper's financial section. When Moses Annenberg assumed leadership of The Inquirer, he announced that the newspaper would "continue to uphold the principles of the Republican Party." But in a meeting with newspaper editors shortly after, he proposed that the paper go independent and support <a href="/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt" title="Franklin D. Roosevelt">President Franklin D. Roosevelt</a> in the upcoming presidential election. The newspaper's editors at the time rejected this idea, and the paper remained largely <a href="/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)" title="Republican Party (United States)">Republican</a>. In the late 1930s, Annenberg disagreed with Roosevelt's <a href="/wiki/New_Deal" title="New Deal">New Deal</a> programs and his handling of strikes, leading to editorials in The Inquirer that criticized Roosevelt's policies and his supporters. Annenberg strongly opposed <a href="/wiki/Democratic_Party_(United_States)" title="Democratic Party (United States)">Democratic</a> <a href="/wiki/Governor_of_Pennsylvania" class="mw-redirect" title="Governor of Pennsylvania">Pennsylvania governor</a> <a href="/wiki/George_Howard_Earle_III" title="George Howard Earle III">George Earle</a>, and The Inquirer supported Republican candidates in the 1938 Pennsylvania state elections. When Republicans swept the election, there was a celebration at The Inquirer headquarters that included red flares and the firing of cannons. The attacks against Democrats and the support given Republicans caught the attention of the <a href="/wiki/Presidency_of_Franklin_D._Roosevelt" title="Presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt">Roosevelt administration</a>. Under Annenberg, The Philadelphia Inquirer emerged as a major challenger to The Record, which was supportive of Democrats. As Annenberg began focusing on politics, Democratic politicians often attacked Annenberg, accusing him of illegal business practices. In 1939, Annenberg was charged with income tax evasion. He pleaded guilty prior to his trial, and was sentenced to three years in prison. Annenberg's friends and his son, Walter, claimed that the entire trial was politically motivated and that his sentence was excessively harsh.<a href="#cite_note-Annenberg-10">[10]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Independent">Independent</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=The_Philadelphia_Inquirer&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Independent" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:The_Philadelphia_Inquirer_at_Eagles_Victory_Parade_(40176710721).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/The_Philadelphia_Inquirer_at_Eagles_Victory_Parade_%2840176710721%29.jpg/220px-The_Philadelphia_Inquirer_at_Eagles_Victory_Parade_%2840176710721%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="248" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="2937" data-file-height="3306"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 248px;" data-mw-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/The_Philadelphia_Inquirer_at_Eagles_Victory_Parade_%2840176710721%29.jpg/220px-The_Philadelphia_Inquirer_at_Eagles_Victory_Parade_%2840176710721%29.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="248" data-mw-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/The_Philadelphia_Inquirer_at_Eagles_Victory_Parade_%2840176710721%29.jpg/330px-The_Philadelphia_Inquirer_at_Eagles_Victory_Parade_%2840176710721%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/The_Philadelphia_Inquirer_at_Eagles_Victory_Parade_%2840176710721%29.jpg/440px-The_Philadelphia_Inquirer_at_Eagles_Victory_Parade_%2840176710721%29.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Copies of The Inquirer being sold at the <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_Eagles" title="Philadelphia Eagles">Philadelphia Eagles</a>' <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_LII" title="Super Bowl LII">Super Bowl LII</a> victory parade in 2018</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Strawbridge_%26_Clothier_Building_from_Market_and_8th_Streets.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Strawbridge_%26_Clothier_Building_from_Market_and_8th_Streets.jpg/220px-Strawbridge_%26_Clothier_Building_from_Market_and_8th_Streets.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="256" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="2448" data-file-height="2846"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 256px;" data-mw-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Strawbridge_%26_Clothier_Building_from_Market_and_8th_Streets.jpg/220px-Strawbridge_%26_Clothier_Building_from_Market_and_8th_Streets.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="256" data-mw-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Strawbridge_%26_Clothier_Building_from_Market_and_8th_Streets.jpg/330px-Strawbridge_%26_Clothier_Building_from_Market_and_8th_Streets.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Strawbridge_%26_Clothier_Building_from_Market_and_8th_Streets.jpg/440px-Strawbridge_%26_Clothier_Building_from_Market_and_8th_Streets.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>The former <a href="/wiki/Strawbridge%27s" title="Strawbridge's">Strawbridge & Clothier Building</a> at 801 <a href="/wiki/Market_Street_(Philadelphia)" title="Market Street (Philadelphia)">Market Street</a>, where the Inquirer and Daily News were located from 2012 to 2022</figcaption></figure> In 1947, The Record, the primary Philadelphia competitor of The Inquirer, ceased operations, and The Inquirer announced that it would be an independent newspaper. Frustrated with corruption in Philadelphia, The Inquirer supported Democratic candidates in the 1951 election.<a href="#cite_note-Inqhistory-6">[6]</a> While Walter Annenberg promised that The Inquirer would be politically independent, he still used the newspaper to attack people he disliked, sometimes including a person or group with whom he was angered. Annenberg then blacklisted the person or group, insisting that they not be mentioned in The Inquirer. People on the blacklist were even airbrushed out of images.
