The Kearney Hub is a daily newspaper published in Kearney, Nebraska, United States, and is the primary newspaper for south-central region of Nebraska surrounding the city, including Buffalo County, Nebraska and the Kearney Micropolitan Statistical Area.

Mentor A. Brown, founder of the paper
The paper was founded in 1888, and was first published on October 22, 1888.[2][3] Its founders included Mentor A. Brown (1853-1932), formerly of the Beatrice Press, and R.H. Eaton, who together organized the Hub Printing Company to publish the paper and to take over the Central Nebraska Press which dated from 1873.[4][5] The name "Hub" was chosen because the town was considered the "hub" of the continent, located 1733 miles from both Boston and San Francisco.[4]

Mentor's son Hugh Brown took over the paper after his death in 1932.[6] The subsequent leaders of the paper have been Ormond Hill, Robert S. Ayres, Daryl Hall and Steve Chatelain.[6] Chatelain was managing editor from 1985-89, and has been publisher since 1993.[7]
