The Rushville Republican was a two-day (Tuesday and Friday) morning daily newspaper serving Rushville, Indiana, and Rush County. It was owned by CNHI. Its publication was discontinued in May 2020, when it was merged with the CNHI's Greensburg Daily News.

History

Having begun publication as the Rushville Whig in 1840,[2] the Republican claims to be the oldest daily still operating in Indiana.

On May 15, 2020, the Republican printed its last edition.[3] It was merged with the Greensburg Daily News, making it one of 16 publications shut down by owner CNHI due to business losses associated with the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.[4]
