The Impartial Reporter was founded in 1825 by William Trimble in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. Trimble took over the newspaper from the original owner, printer John Gregsten, with the idea of creating a platform to cover local news and events. Known as the "Father of the Irish Press," Trimble's vision was to provide impartial reporting on the issues affecting the community. Today, The Impartial Reporter is owned by Newsquest, a subsidiary of Gannett Co., Inc., after being acquired as part of the Romanes Media Group in 2015. Based in Enniskillen, The Impartial Reporter covers a wide range of topics including local and national news, sports, entertainment, and politics. The newspaper primarily serves Fermanagh, South Tyrone, and the border areas of the Republic of Ireland. As the oldest surviving weekly newspaper in Fermanagh, it has a long history of reporting on significant events, from the Land War in the 19th century to modern-day political and social issues. **One interesting fact**: The Impartial Reporter holds the world record for being the newspaper to have its ownership longest in the hands of a single family. The Trimble family owned and published the newspaper for over 180 years, from its founding in 1825 until 2006, when it was sold to the Ulster News Group.
