The Birmingham News was the principal newspaper for Birmingham, Alabama, United States in the latter half of the 20th century and the first quarter of the 21st.[2] The paper was owned by Advance Publications and was a daily newspaper from its founding through September 30, 2012. After that day, the News and its two sister Alabama newspapers, the Press-Register in Mobile and The Huntsville Times, moved to a thrice-weekly print-edition publication schedule (Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays).
The News and its sister newspapers printed their final edition on February 26, 2023, after almost 135 years of publication. Their digital operation, AL.com, survives.
