Detroit Free Press Friday, November 17, 1967. Detroit was without their two newspaper dailies for nine months in 1967-1968.
In lieu of the two newspaper’s shutdown, Detroiters found themselves without their two daily newspapers, again, for the second time in four years. The previous newspaper strike/shutdowns was back in July 1964. In substitution, the Detroit American expanded its publication for a greater outreach in the metro-Detroit area throughout the remainder of the strike during this period.
Both newspapers, the Detroit Free Press, and the Detroit News, resumed daily publications after both papers reached a tentative settlement to end the strike on Friday, August 9. Both papers were back in circulation on Saturday, August 10, 1968.
The Detroit Free Press archives includes the Detroit American newspaper publications, covering the months of May, June, and July of 1968.
