When the Detroit News opened its doors in 1873, the city’s population was rapidly expanding to meet the needs of its manufacturing sector. From those early days through the rise and fall of the auto industry to today’s push toward revival, the Detroit News tracks The Motor City’s rich history in unparalleled detail and breadth. Full-text coverage of this title is available from 1999 to present, with web-only content starting in 2005.
