Times Union

The Times Union is the leading news organization in New York’s Capital Region. It traces its beginnings to 1856, when the Morning Times was founded as a daily newspaper in Albany. Following numerous name changes, mergers and transfers of ownership, William Randolph Hearst purchased the Times Union in 1924.
