History
Having begun publication as the Rushville Whig in 1840,[2] the Republican claimed to be the oldest daily still operating in Indiana.
On May 15, 2020, the Republican printed its last edition.[3] It was merged with the Greensburg Daily News, making it one of 16 publications shut down by owner CNHI due to business losses associated with the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.[4]
