The '''''Indianapolis Journal''''' was a newspaper published in [[Indianapolis]], [[Indiana]], during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The paper published daily editions every evening except on Sundays, when it published a morning edition.
On March 7, 1823, Harvey Gregg and Douglas Maguire published the first issue of the '''''Western Censor & Emigrants' Guide''''', a year after the city's first newspaper, the ''Indianapolis Gazette'', was established. On October 19, 1824, Gregg sold his interest in the paper to John Douglass. Douglass and Maquire published the ''Western Censor'' until renaming it as the '''''Indiana Journal''''' on January 11, 1825, and expanded and enlarged the publication.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Boomhower |first=Ray |date=2021-03-09 |title=Western Censor &
From the outset the paper advocated for government-sponsored internal improvements and protective tariffs that would aid Indiana’s agricultural economy. These positions led the ''Journal'' to align with the [[Whig Party (United States)|Whig Party]] beginning in the mid-1830s. Purchased in 1845 by [[John D. Defrees]], and operated by him for nearly a decade, the paper was the first in Indianapolis to install a steam driven printing press. Under his leadership, the paper became Indianapolis's first permanent daily, the '''''Daily Indiana State Journal,''''' in April 1851. The title changed to '''''Indianapolis Morning Journal''''' in 1853, then to '''''Indianapolis Daily Journal''''' the following year, and ultimately to ''Indianapolis Journal'' in 1867.
