Mount Pleasant Daily Tribune is a daily newspaper based in Mount Pleasant, Texas, USA. The paper has been a daily publication since November 1969.[4]

History

The paper traces its roots back to a paper called The Patron, published in 1872 by W. J. Johnson. The paper changed named many times; it was called The Times Review in 1883 and consolidated with The Daily Hustler in 1924, to form The Daily Times.

C. E. Palmer and his associates with The Texarkana Gazette started a daily paper in 1939 called the Mount Pleasant Daily News. In 1940, the name was changed to the Titus County Tribune, and became a weekly publication.

J. Frank Palmer and his two sons purchased the Titus County Tribune in 1941, and in 1972 purchased The Daily Times, merging the papers into the Mount Pleasant Daily Tribune. The Mount Pleasant Tribune is one of only thirteen family-owned and operated newspapers in Texas today.[5]

In 2014, Granite Publications bought The Mount Pleasant Daily Tribune from Bob Palmer.
