It has been hailed for its impartial coverage of the mining and manufacturing sectors, said to be "as vital to the metal-buyer as the ticker is to Wall Street".2

The story

First published in 1882 as a weekly news and price paper and never having missed a scheduled publication date, American Metal Market is considered the longest continuously published newspaper in the industry. In April 2002, the daily publication switched from a traditional, hard-copy newspaper to a strictly electronic format, in which form it remains today.
