History
The Weekly Chronicle was founded in July 1889 by Thomas Scammons and J. E. Whinnery. It switched to daily publication the following year, renaming itself The Daily Chronicle.[2] The Chronicle was purchased by the Lafromboise family in 1968 and was under the ownership of Jeraldine Lafromboise for several decades.[3] In 2011, The Chronicle switched to publishing three editions per week due to declines in revenue, instead publishing digital editions on the remaining days.[1]
