UPI's legacy of fair and reliable reporting dates back to 1907, when it was founded by E.W. Scripps as the United Press. It became known as UPI after a merger with the International News Service in 1958, which was founded in 1909 by William Randolph Hearst. Today, UPI is owned by News World Communications.
