The Guelph Tribune is a twice-weekly newspaper serving the city of Guelph, Ontario, Canada.
[edit] History
The Guelph Tribune was founded on September 30, 1986 as the Royal Tribune, a once a week community newspaper. The paper was later renamed the Guelph Tribune and is now published twice a week since the mid-1990s. It focuses on all local news.
The Guelph Tribune is part of the Fairway Group of newspapers, a division of Metroland Media Group, a Torstar company. The Tribune has had five owners and eight publishers since its start. Fairway includes sister weeklies Waterloo Chronicle, the New Hamburg Independent and the three-times a week Cambridge Times. The sister division of community newspapers was called Brabant Group before changing its name to the Hamilton Community Newspaper Group. This group includes the Ancaster News, Dundas Star News, Hamilton Mountain News, Stoney Creek News and the Grand River Sachem.
[edit] Present
Torstar bought the chain from Southam in 2004 and is now part of the Metroland Media Group which also includes three daily newspapers: the Hamilton Spectator, The Record (Kitchener, Cambridge and Waterloo) and the Guelph Mercury, as well as the 10 weekly newspapers, 18 specialty publications, an annual directory and three printing operations.
Both the Guelph Tribune and Guelph Mercury are owned and published by Metroland Media Group but keep separate newsrooms and operations.
The current editor is Chris Clark. The Group Publisher is Fred Kuntz.
