The Cleveland Press was a daily American newspaper published in Cleveland, Ohio from November 2, 1878, through June 17, 1982.[1] From 1928 to 1966, the paper's editor was Louis B. Seltzer.

Known for many years as one of the country's most influential newspapers for its focus on working class issues, its neighborhood orientation, its promotion of public service, and its editorial involvement in political campaigns at the state and local levels,[2] the paper may best be remembered for its controversial role in the 1954 Sam Sheppard murder case.
