The Tribune is a semiweekly broadsheet newspaper and news website that covers San Luis Obispo County, California.
Walter Murray led the establishment of The Tribune in the late 1860s, starting as the publication's editor and co-owner, with the first issue being printed on August 7, 1869.
[7] The McClatchy Company took over the paper on June 27, 2006, when it acquired Knight Ridder, formerly the United States' second-largest chain of daily newspapers.
In an article by Kevin G. Hall, McClatchy claimed that bankruptcy was necessary in order to "... shed costs of print legacy and speed shift to digital."
[citation needed] Effective June 5, 2023, the paper's daily print edition will arrive via the U.S. Mail instead of delivery by a local carrier.
