The Daily Progress is the sole daily paper in the vicinity of Charlottesville, Virginia. Published continuously for over 100 years[citation needed], it is now owned by Richmond-based Media General.

The building that long housed The Daily Progress, on Market Street in downtown Charlottesville.

While much of its writing staff consist of an ever-changing flock of youthful reporters, it contains a few veteran journalists, including feature-penning Vietnam veteran David Maurer, award-winning Bryan McKenzie and longtime sports columnist Jerry Ratcliffe.[citation needed] The Daily Progress was long owned by the local Worrell family, under the aegis of Worrell Enterprises, but the paper was sold to Media General as a part of a larger $230M deal in 1995.
