WOODWARD COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
WOODWARD COMMUNICATIONS, INC. Corporation whose flagship publication, the TELEGRAPH HERALD traces its heritage to the DUBUQUE VISITOR founded in 1836 by John KING. Fred W. WOODWARD joined the Telegraph in 1898 as a carrier. He progressed through the administrative offices and became secretary of the newspaper in 1915. Upon the death of publisher Patrick J. QUIGLEY, Woodward bought the controlling interest.
The corporate name was changed from the Telegraph Herald to Woodward Communications, Inc. in 1981 to reflect the company's growth. WCI owned, in addition to the Telegraph Herald, RADIO stations in Appleton, Wisconsin; KDTH/KA T-FM in Dubuque; the Eastern Iowa Shopper in Edgewood, Iowa. An international trade publication for the material handling industry was also acquired.
The TELEGRAPH HERALD and Woodward Communications Inc. have been headquartered at 801 Central.
