The ''Columbia Daily Tribune'', commonly referred to as the "Columbia Tribune" or just the "Tribune", is one of two daily newspapers in Columbia, Missouri, the other being the Columbia Missourian. It is also the only daily newspaper in Columbia that has circulation verified by the Audit Bureau of Circulations, and it has been a member of ABC since 1915. It has been owned by the Watson/Waters family since 1905. Although written to serve the Columbia Metropolitan Area, it is the most widely circulated newspaper in the region of Mid-Missouri. The paper is a broadsheet delivered evenings on Monday through Friday and mornings on Saturday and Sunday. ==History== The ''Tribune'' was founded in Sept. 12, 1901, by former University of Missouri student Charles Monro Strong with assistance from Barratt O’Hara as the first daily newspaper in Columbia. Its offices were on the third floor of the Stone Building at 15 S. Ninth St.〔http://www.columbiatribune.com/news/2011/jan/02/the-tribune-105-years-and-counting/#〕 Before 1901, news was offered by three weeklies, the ''Missouri Intelligencer'', ''The Columbia Patriot'' and ''The Columbia Statesman''. In 1902 Earnest M. Mitchell joined and they moved it to the Whittle Building at 911a E. Broadway (now home to KOPN). Mitchell bought Strong out in 1905 but died shortly thereafter from typhoid fever.〔 In 1905, Edwin Moss Watson bought the newspaper. Watson's nephew, Henry Waters Jr., inherited the paper upon Watson's death in 1937. In 1966, Hank Waters succeeded his father and continued to operate the Tribune until December 31, 2010. On January 1, 2011 Hank Waters' two youngest children, Andy Waters and lizabeth bought out four other family members to take full (ownership of the company ). Vicki Russell, Hank Waters' wife, became the publisher—the first woman to ever hold that position. Andy Waters became president and general manager. Hank Waters took the title of publisher emeritus, but will still continue to write editorials. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Columbia Daily Tribune」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
