The Reading Eagle is the major daily newspaper in Reading, Pennsylvania, in the United States. This family-owned newspaper has a daily circulation of 49,375 and a Sunday circulation of 70,832.[1] It serves the Reading and Berks County region of Pennsylvania.
History
The paper was founded on January 28, 1868.[2] It was initially an afternoon paper, published Sunday through Saturday.
In 1940, the Eagle acquired the Reading Times, which was a morning paper, but they remained separate papers.[3][4][5] The staff of the two papers was combined in 1982.[6] In June 2002, the Reading Times ceased publishing, and the Eagle became a morning paper.[6][7]
Author John Updike worked at the Eagle as a copyboy in his youth for several summer interships in the early 1950s, and wrote several feature articles.[8][9]
In late April 2009, the newspaper laid off 52 employees.[10][11]
