Longview News-Journal
The Longview News-Journal Dates back to 1871 under independent publishers, including James Hogg, later Texas governor, and Carl Estes, Longview civic figure. The publication was purchased by Cox Newspapers in the 1980s and sold by Cox to ASP Westward in 2009. It is closely affiliated with the Marshall News Messenger, another former Cox newspaper (published in nearby Marshall) which was sold to ASP Westward along with the News-Journal. In 2012, ASP Westward announced the sale of the Longview and Marshall papers, along with 12 of its other non-daily East Texas papers, to M. Roberts Media, a family owned media company which is owned by members of the Morris Roberts family. The Longview News-Journal provides exceptional reach to local advertisers through its newspapers, websites and associated publications. Stephen McHaney serves as Publisher.
