Brush-Moore Newspapers, Inc. was a United States newspaper group based in Ohio. It was founded by Louis H. Brush, Roy D. Moore and William H. Vodrey in 1927, four years after Brush and Moore purchased The Marion Star from US president Warren G. Harding. The business acquired a number of newspapers and radio stations from both Ohio and other US states during its 40 years of existence. Brush-Moore Newspapers' 72-million-dollar sale to Thomson Newspapers in 1967 was at the time the most expensive newspaper transaction in history.
