<a href="/wiki/County_Donegal" title="County Donegal">County Donegal</a>, Ireland. The paper was traditionally based in the town of <a href="/wiki/Ballyshannon" title="Ballyshannon">Ballyshannon</a> in the south of the county, but now has offices in <a href="/wiki/Donegal_Town" class="mw-redirect" title="Donegal Town">Donegal Town</a> (southern edition) and <a href="/wiki/Letterkenny" title="Letterkenny">Letterkenny</a> (northern edition). The <i>Donegal Democrat</i> is the largest paper focused solely on County Donegal, and its current managing editor is Chris Ashmore. The paper was the only one published in south Donegal from the mid-twentieth century on, and so has gained a reputation of being the local <a href="/wiki/Paper_of_record" class="mw-redirect" title="Paper of record">paper of record</a> for that part of the county. </p><p>Since its launch, the <i>Donegal Democrat</i> has been published weekly on a Thursday in <a href="/wiki/Broadsheet" title="Broadsheet">broadsheet</a> format, and in recent years has become part of a chain of titles that are published three times per week in the county. The paper is now almost entirely integrated with the <i><a href="/wiki/Donegal_People%27s_Press" title="Donegal People's Press">Donegal People's Press</a></i>, a paper published on Tuesdays in a <a href="/wiki/Compact_(newspaper)" title="Compact (newspaper)">compact</a> format. The <i>People's Press</i> was traditionally a north Donegal paper and so, with minor alterations, is published as a Tuesday edition of the <i>Donegal Democrat</i> in the south of the county. </p><p>In March 2004, the <i>Sunday Democrat</i> was launched as an edition of the <i><a href="/wiki/Sunday_Journal" title="Sunday Journal">Sunday Journal</a></i>, it changed its name later that year to <i><a href="/wiki/Donegal_on_Sunday" title="Donegal on Sunday">Donegal on Sunday</a></i> which is no longer in print. The <i>Donegal Democrat</i> group is owned by <a href="/wiki/Iconic_Newspapers" title="Iconic Newspapers">Iconic Newspapers</a>, which publishes several other titles in counties Donegal and <a href="/wiki/County_Londonderry" title="County Londonderry">Londonderry</a> including the <i>Donegal Post</i>, <i>Inish Times</i>, <i>County Derry Post</i> and <i>Derry News</i>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Donegal_Democrat&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Early_years">Early years</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Donegal_Democrat&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Early years"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The paper was first published on 16 June 1919,<sup id="cite_ref-CURRAN_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CURRAN-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and was founded by <a href="/w/index.php?title=John_Downey_(newspaper_editor)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="John Downey (newspaper editor) (page does not exist)">John Downey</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The editorial in the first issue set out that it was to be a "non-political paper in a world of politics, but we believed that in doing so we are doing right.

Its front page contained mostly adverts, with no photos in the paper at all. Over the next few years the paper gradually increased in size and circulation, and in 1922 got its first typesetting machine. </p><p>Cecil King purchased the <i>Democrat</i> from the Downey family in 1948.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Recent_history">Recent history</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Donegal_Democrat&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Recent history"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <i>Democrat</i> published a number of books between 1962 and 1988.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The paper was put on the market in 1992 following the death of the then managing director, Cecil King jnr.<sup id="cite_ref-OKANE_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-OKANE-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1995, the paper was bought by the <a href="/wiki/Derry_Journal_Newspapers" title="Derry Journal Newspapers">Derry Journal Newspapers</a> group for an undisclosed sum thought to be in the region of 1 million.<sup id="cite_ref-OKANE_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-OKANE-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The paper was purchased by the <a href="/wiki/3i" title="3i">3i</a> holding company <a href="/wiki/Local_Press_Ltd" class="mw-redirect" title="Local Press Ltd">Local Press Ltd</a> in 2004, and changed hands again the following year, when <a href="/wiki/Johnston_Press" title="Johnston Press">Johnston Press</a> took over Local Press.
