Chanute Tribune History The Chanute Tribune began as a 4-column, 4-page publication founded by G.M. Dewey on April 8, 1892. H.P. Hutton was editor. Eight years later, Sept. 6, 1900, Dewey sold it to J.M. Cavaness, who was succeeded by his sons, Herbert and Wilfred, three years later. The sons formed a partnership with Parks Helmick, and on Oct. 31, 1905, they absorbed the Chanute Daily Blade. Four years later the brothers joined A.R. Blakely and Fred Brinkerhoff to form a stock company, Tribune Publishing Company, which absorbed the Chanute Morning Star. The stock company's name disappeared from The Tribune nameplate on April 2, 1921, and four years later Herbert Cavaness officially became editor and publisher. Herbert operated the paper as editor for six years, and then the brothers sold The Tribune to Ralph A. Harris and sons, John P., and Sidney F., July 31, 1927. John P. Harris became editor and publisher. In October 1927, total paid circulation was 3, 530. The paper was published 26 days that month, and total pages were 202. Another change occurred Jan. 11, 1932, when the firm became Chanute Publishing Company. John P. Harris was editor and manager. Total advertising inches for the year were 169, 319. The next change came to the paper on June 12, 1933, when The Tribune absorbed the Chanute Daily Timesett, published by C.F. Jones. C.W. Moody became editor and publisher when John P. Harris moved to Hutchinson. Moody was publisher until July, 1941, when he transferred to The Burlington Hawk-Eye Gazette. C.F. Jones became editor and publisher, and in 1946 he moved The Tribune from quarters at 14 N. Lincoln to 15 S. Highland. Jones retired Oct. 1, 1952, when Fred M. Harris Jr. became publisher and F.W. Johnson editor. Fred Harris resigned Dec. 31, 1952, and Johnson assumed the title of editor and publisher. In 1960, Johnson, who had served as editor and publisher for eight years, transferred to The Olathe Daily News. Dwight McCreight, classified advertising manager at The Hutchinson News, became publisher of The Tribune. McCreight served as president and publisher until 1973, when he retired, and Fred M. Harris was named president. F.M. Mike Harris III was named general manager ; in 1979 he was named president and publisher. Tom Bell was editor and publisher from 1990 to 1997, when he was succeeded by Duane Schrag.

At that time the press operation was also moved to Parsons. Darren Werth succeeded Ann Charles as publisher in 2007 and with the paper's sale to Kansas Newspapers L.L.C., a part of Family Media Inc. of Miami, Oklahoma, Kate Thompson took over as publisher. 1973 Fred M.
