Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune traces its history to a Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin newspaper started in the early 1900s by William F. Huffman, Sr. The newspaper today is a daily broadsheet with a circulation of roughly 15,000, serving mainly Wood County, Wisconsin.
Owned by Gannett, which also owns the nearby Stevens Point Journal and Marshfield News-Herald, the reporters and editors of the Daily Tribune depend largely on wire copy and "canned" material from other Gannett newspapers throughout Wisconsin to produce local coverage. At least three to four articles daily are written by staff members who actually live in (or near) Wisconsin Rapids, however.
As the only newspaper in this part of central Wisconsin, the Daily Tribune has no direct, local competition. The newspaper was formerly owned by Thomson Newspapers Inc.
In the 1990s, the paper was at the center of a controversial murder case, when the Daily Tribune's receptionist, Jayne Susan Jacobson, murdered publisher David Gentry's secretary, Julie Schroer at Schroer's home in 1990. Jacobson was found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect and was released within a few years of the slaying.[1]
Among former staffers of this newspaper are Robert D. McFadden, a Pulitzer Prize-winning senior reporter for the New York Times, who worked for the Daily Tribune from 1957 to 1958; Robert Des Jarlais, an award-winning sports and general news editor and reporter at the Daily Tribune from the mid-1960s until shortly before his untimely death in the 1990s; and Mark Scarborough, a seven-time winner of first-place Wisconsin Newspaper Association awards for his writing about Wisconsin schools, people and politics, which appeared in the pages of the Daily Tribune from 1985 to 2003.
