Asheboro Courier-Tribune
Asheboro Courier-Tribune is a daily newspaper in Asheboro, North Carolina, USA covering local news, sports, business, jobs, and community events.
The newspaper is published seven days a week.
The Courier-Tribune traces its roots to the founding of the Randolph Regulator in 1876. Two years later, the newspaper was sold to James Crocker and its name was changed to the Courier. William Cicero Hammer and Wiley Rush bought the paper in 1891, and Hammer took sole ownership two years later. He served as the newspaper's editor until he died in 1930. Roy Cox Sr. went to work for Hammer in 1927 and bought his own local paper, the Randolph Tribune, in 1934. On January 30, 1940, he bought the Courier and merged the two newspapers into the Courier-Tribune. Its first twice-weekly edition hits the streets on May 17, 1940. Cox's son, Roy Cox Jr., took over in 1967 when his father died. He transformed the newspaper into a Monday through Friday daily operation and added a Sunday edition in 1978. A Saturday edition was added in 2000, when the newspaper also switched from afternoon to morning publication. Cox ran the newspaper until it was sold to Ingersoll Publications in 1986. Donrey Media Group acquired the publication in 1990 and still owns it today under its new group name, Stephens Media Group.
Circulation: 12,731 copies
This newspaper is owned by Stephens Media Group.
