In 1890, J.F. Westmoreland – the brother of D.S. Westmoreland, founder of Thomasville's first chair factory – began publishing a weekly newspaper. The paper later merged with ''The Chairtown News'' to become ''The News-Times''. This paper was later absorbed by ''The Tribune''.
In 1958, ''The Tribune'' was purchased by
