History

  • Randolph Louis White founded the paper in 1954.[2]
  • The Charlottesville-Albemarle Tribune was renamed The Tribune in 1992.[1]
  • The Tribune ceased publication in 2011.[2]

Staff

The Tribune's last publisher was Agnes Cross-White. [3] She inherited The Tribune from her father-in-law in 1991.[4]

Former Democratic City Councilor Meredith Richards contributed monthly columns to the paper in 2004 and 2005 to balance the "very conservative Republican views" of Cross-White, who she has known for a long time and who invited her to contribute[5].

Circulation controversy

In 2003 Cross-White was sued for $1 million by former advertising representative Rosanna Harris, who alleged Cross-White lied about circulation numbers for the paper. Cross-White called the suit "frivolous" and alleged that Harris stole her car.[6][7]
