Anchorage Times

The paper was sold to Charlie Herron in the spring of 1916, and on May 24 changed its name to The Anchorage Daily Times & Cook Inlet Pioneer.

In December 1924, it was sold to cover debts to a group headed by Bank of Alaska president Edward A. Rasmuson and Jacob B.

[5] Atwood had been brought to Alaska by Rasmuson to assume the position of editor-publisher of the paper, which at that time had a circulation of 650.

In 1989, Atwood sold the Times to Veco Corporation, an oilfield service company seeking to invest its profits from the clean-up efforts following the Exxon Valdez oil spill.

The new management was not able to turn the paper around, and after two and a half years and claimed losses of $10 million, the newspaper was sold to McClatchy which then made the decision to shut down the Anchorage Times.

On May 10, 2007, several days after Veco CEO and Voice of the Times publisher Bill Allen pleaded guilty to political bribery charges, the Daily News announced that it would terminate the agreement at the end of that month.

In October 2008, the Voice of the Times announced that it would stop publishing, with a probable final date of November 1, 2008.

The Times would remain in that location until its closing, greatly expanding its offices and plant during the 1970s.
