Trib Publications is a regional newspaper chain based in Manchester, Georgia, United States. [1]

Trib Publications was started by Robert Tribble in 1968. Tribble, previously the editor of the local weekly newspaper Manchester Mercury, bought three small weeklies, the Harris County Journal, Meriwether Vindicator and Talbotton New Era with a total circulation of 3,500. In 1976 he bought his former paper, by then called the Manchester Star-Mercury. By 1984 he had 15 papers, which grew to 30 by 1995. [2] Some of Trib's earliest Georgia acquisitions were sold in 1999 to another small paper aggregator, Millard B. Grimes of Athens, Georgia's Grimes Publications. [3] Trib re-acquired these properties from Grimes in 2011. [4]

Among Trib's other papers is The Western Star, a weekly in Bessemer, Alabama. The Star was established in 1984, [5] [1] but its predecessor titles go back to 1887 (Bessemer Advertiser 1949–1990, Tribune-Advertiser 1930–1949, Bessemer Advertiser 1920–1930, Bessemer Weekly 1889–1920, The Bessemer 1887–1889). [6] As of 1995, its circulation was 9,500, at that time the largest circulation among Trib's papers; [2] the circulation has since dropped to less than 3,000. [7] The Star's offices in Charleston House are on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Downtown Bessemer Historic District. [8]

Trib has continued to acquire new properties, buying the Houston Home Journal of Perry, Georgia in 2014. [9]
