The first year it was published, the paper was known as theGrant's Pass Courier.[3] From 1886 until 1919, it was named theRogue River Courier.[3] The name was changed again toGrants Pass Daily Courier to avoid confusion after the town of Woodville changed its name toRogue River.[3] Much of the success of the paper in its first few decades has been attributed to A. E. Voorhies, its longtime publisher.[4] The paper briefly published a daily bulletin in 1898 during theSpanish American War, and established regular daily publication schedule in 1910.[4]
TheDaily Courier is the oldest continuously published newspaper inSouthern Oregon. It took the title in 2019 when theAshland Daily Tidings closed.[3][5] When theCourier became a daily in 1910, Grants Pass was the smallest city in the world to have leasedwire service from theUnited Press.[5]
TheDaily Courier received the 2018 Baker Public Service Award from the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association for its coverage of the Taylor Creek and Klondike wildfires.[6] Reporters for theDaily Courier won the Bruce Baer Award for Oregon journalism in 1988 and 1992, as well as a special recognition in 1987.[7]
When theMedford Mail-Tribune suddenly closed on January 13, 2023, theDaily Courier said it hoped to expand its coverage area to fill the gap.[8]
