Dallas Post Tribune

The Dallas Post Tribune is a weekly newspaper, specifically every Thursday, that is distributed throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth area of the U.S. state of Texas.[1] The Dallas Post Tribune was originally created in 1947 in Tyler, Texas by Bert C. Muse.[2] Before it became the Dallas Post Tribune the paper went through a few different name changes, the first being the Tyler Morning Tribune,[3] followed by The Dallas Star Post,[4] before renaming the company to the Dallas Post Tribune. According to the print media experts Echo Media, the Dallas Post Tribune currently holds the title of being the largest black-owned newspaper in the northern Texas area.[5]

Fred J. Finch Jr., a Dallas attorney affiliated with the Post Tribune in the 1980s, went on to found The Dallas Examiner, with a focus on a racially diverse audience, quality journalism and savvy business management. Finch retained an ownership stake in the Post Tribune.[6] According to Willie Mae Hughey, business manager for the Examiner in the 1990s, during that time the Post Tribune contained "standard fare for a black weekly: church news, sorority-fraternity announcement, "man-on-street" reactions, and notable achievements by local residents, scattered among brief news reports and myriad columns featuring commentary on civil rights issues."[6]
