The Tribune
The Tribune is a newspaper serving the area's African-American community. The paper was established in 1954 as the Charlottesville-Albemarle Tribune[1] and changed names in 1992.
History
- Randolph Louis White founded the paper in 1954.[2]
- The Tribune ceased publication in 2011.[2]
Staff
The Tribune is currently[when?] published by Agnes Cross-White. [3]
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[4].
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.[5][6]
