[edit] History
The paper was founded in 1907 as "The Gary Weekly." It was established to serve steel industry residents. On September 7, 1908 the weekly became a daily and changed its name to the "Gary Tribune." It's founder, J.R. and H.B. Snyder, purchased the "Gary Evening Post" from Gary mayor Thomas Knotts on March 9, 1910. In July 1921 the two papers were merged producing the "Post-Tribune" a weekday evening and weekend morning paper. In August 1966, the Snyder heirs sold the publication to Northwest Publications, Inc., a subsidiary of Ridder Publications. "Gary" was dropped from the "masthead" to furter regionalize the Post-Tribune. In 1974 the Post-Tribune became part of the Knight-Ridder chain of productions. In June, 1986, the "Post-Tribune" became a morning paper.
American Publishing took over the production on February 2, 1998. American Publishing later became the Sun-Times Media Group.
