Based in Odessa, Texas, the Odessa American was founded in 1940 and won the Pulitzer Prize in 1988 for spot photography.
In August 1927, production of Odessa "Times" and Odessa "News" began. In October 1928, the two-weekly papers were merged as the Odessa "News-Times".
The first daily newspaper, The "Daily Bulletin" began in 1936. The "News-Times" followed with a daily in 1937. On Oct. 2, 1940 R. Henderson Shuffler consolidated the "Daily Bulletin" and the "News-Times" into the "Odessa American," which he sold on Aug. 11, 1945.
Ownership of the newspaper changed twice before Aug. 13, 1948, when it was purchased by Raymond Cyrus Hoiles of Freedom Newspapers Inc.
That company, which later became Freedom Communications, sold the "Odessa American" to AIM Media Texas, LLC, on May 18, 2012.
The "Odessa American" has withstood brief competition from five newspapers since its first publication and has been published at 222 E. Fourth St. since 1951.
