Bulletin, The

▪ American newspaper
      daily newspaper published in Philadelphia from 1847 to 1982, long considered one of the most influential American newspapers.

      Founded by Alexander Cummings as Cummings Telegraphic Evening Bulletin, the newspaper became The Daily Evening Bulletin in 1856 and then the Evening Bulletin in 1870. The paper was one of the first in the United States to transmit news by telegraph and was the first evening paper to succeed in the city of Philadelphia.

      In 1895, after several changes of ownership, William L. McLean bought the Evening Bulletin and built it into Philadelphia's largest newspaper. Sold by the McLean family in 1980, The Bulletin closed in January 1982 after a lengthy strike.
