History

Its earliest predecessor, the "Albuquerque Daily Journal", was first published on October 14, 1880. The newspaper is owned (and editorially controlled) by the Journal Publishing Company, a family-owned business headed by president/publisher T.H. Lang; it is operated by the Albuquerque Publishing Company.

On February 20, 1933, during the Great Depression, the "Journal" and "The Albuquerque Tribune" became the first newspapers to create what was later called a Joint Operating Agreement (JOA). [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m5092/is_n5_v19/ai_16927649/print "Albuquerque Journal": Still King of the Hill] . - "New Mexico Business Journal". - (c/o findarticle.com). - May 1995] This first JOA created the Albuquerque Publishing Company, in probable violation of anti-trust laws at the time. The new company was a partnership which took over all non-editorial departments of the two papers and gave the "Tribune" a fixed percentage (about 40%) of the combined revenues of the two newspapers, regardless of circulation.

After the E. W. Scripps Company shut down the "Tribune" on February 23, 2008, it retained its ~40% stake in the Albuquerque Publishing Company.
