Daily Calumet

The Daily Calumet was a Chicago newspaper that existed from 1881 until the late 1980s, when it was superseded by the Daily Southtown.[1] Once billed as "the Nation's Oldest Daily Community Newspaper",[1] it was popular among blue-collar workers in Chicago's South Side.[2] It was purchased by Pulitzer Community Newspapers, a Pulitzer Publishing Company subsidiary, in 1987.[3] At the time, it had a circulation of 10,500.[3]
