ThePalladium-Item is an American daily morning newspaper forRichmond, Indiana, and surrounding areas. The paper is a merger of two older papers, theRichmond Palladium and theRichmond Item, and traces its history back to 1831, making it the oldest continuous business in Richmond.
The company was sold in 1976 to theGannett Company,[1] and is currently part of theUSA Today network of titles. Its news director is Greg Fallon.[2] Notable writers from the paper's staff includeMike Lopresti, who is now a sports columnist for theGannett News Service and is published in many of their papers.
The paper's website explains the origin of "Palladium" as referring to "Pallas Athena, whose warlike nature was provoked by injustice and interference with constructive, peaceful living. Pallas Athena was the Goddess of Wisdom and considered a symbol of protection," and thatPalladium denotes "the protection of the rights of people, is believed to have come from Greek history where theft of a statue of Pallas Athena from ancientTroy is said to have resulted in Troy's destruction."[3]
