In November 1867 George Q. Cannon became the editor, and on the 21st of that month, the "News" published its first daily edition, which was published in the evening, and as such was named "The Deseret Evening News". Most of what was published in the daily edition, was also published in the weekly and semi-weekly, as the daily was meant for city readers and the weekly and semi-weekly for those living in the more rural areas of the territory. Until December 1898 all three editions—the weekly, semi-weekly, and daily—were published concurrently.
