Detailed article about the history of news publishing in Johnson County, Kansas. "In no other state's history has the press played such an active and pervasive role in community life. This is evident in the numbers alone. As of the mid 1930s the state of Kansas had spawned a total of 4638 newspapers, at least one thousand more than any other state." The earliest publication in the state was a religious periodical printed in the Shawnee Indian language by missionary Jotham Meeker. The first issue of "Siwonowe Kesibwi" ("The Shawnee Sun") came off the press in February 1835.
