Lewis Craig Humphrey (1875–1927) was an American Kentucky newspaper editor who began his journalistic career as a reporter at the Louisville daily newspaper, the Louisville Evening Post, under the supervision of editor and publisher Richard W. Knott.

[citation needed] He attended public school in Louisville and graduated from Centre College in Danville, Kentucky, in 1896.

The merger was planned by publisher/financier James Buckner Brown to balance the influence of the Barry Bingham Sr. family newspapers, including the Louisville Courier Journal, but the Herald-Post lost its financial support when another of Brown's enterprises failed.

After the Herald's merger with the Louisville Post, he became associate editor of the Louisville Herald-Post, a broadsheet daily newspaper founded by its original owner, financier James Buckner Brown, in 1925.

[8] After additional takeovers and bankruptcies, the Louisville Herald-Post ceased publication in 1936.
