The Emporia Gazette is a daily newspaper in Emporia, Kansas.
The newspaper rose to national attention after William Allen White bought the newspaper for $3,000 in 1895. The paper rose to national prominence and influence in the Republican Party following a White editorial in 1896, "What's the Matter With Kansas?" White struck up a friendship with US President Theodore Roosevelt who stayed at the White home, called Red Rocks, during cross country trips.
White won the 1923 Pulitzer Prize for editorials after he was arrested for a free speech violation of a newly enacted law pushed by Kansas Governor Henry Justin Allen. White's autobiography, published posthumously, won the 1947 Pulitzer Prize.
The newspaper is still published by the White family.
Besides owning The Emporia Gazette, The White family owns The St. Mary's Star, in St. Mary's, Kansas, The Chase County Leader-News, in Cottonwood Falls, Kansas,[1] and as of 5 November 2013, The Westmoreland Recorder, in Westmoreland, Kansas.[2]
