The Wichita Eagle is the primary newspaper for the city of Wichita, Kansas and the surrounding area. The paper was first edited by Marshall Murdock and had its inception in the spring of 1872, along with its chief competitor, the Beacon. The two papers competed for close to one hundred years until the Eagle purchased the Beacon and became the "Eagle and Beacon." Today, the Beacon name has been dropped.

The Eagle is currently owned by the Knight-Ridder conglomerate.
