Founding and ownership
Summarize
Perspective
Eugene L. Alford and Albert H. Alford founded the Lewiston Morning Tribune 133 years ago in 1892.[11][12] It started as a four-page weekly newspaper in 1892 and it went to twice-weekly in 1895. Later it became a morning daily newspaper in 1898.[2] Eugene worked as the publisher and business manager while Albert assumed the position of editor.[13]
After Albert H. Alford died in 1928, his nephew Albert L. Alford (1907–1968) returned to Lewiston from Washington and Lee University in Virginia to assume the position as a managing editor,[14] then became the publisher and editor after his father's death in 1946.[15] Known to his friends as "Bud" Alford,[16] Albert continued to work for the Tribune for 43 years.[17][18] Following his death in 1968, his son, A.L. Alford Jr., became the third publisher of the Tribune.[19]
Following 89 years of local ownership, two-thirds of the stock was sold in 1981 to Kerns-Tribune.[20][21] A.L. Alford Jr. repurchased the Tribune from TCI (who had purchased Kerns-Tribune in 1997) in a deal that was finalized March 31, 1998. The transition also introduced an employee ownership component to the business.[22][23][24][25][26] Nathan Alford became the editor and publisher on October 1, 2008. after the retirement of his father A L Butch Alford, making him the fourth publisher of the Tribune.[11][27]
