McLean Publishing Company history
McLean Publishing Company company history timeline
Thomson's first U.K. acquisition was the Scotsman, a prestigious Scottish daily that had been founded in 1817 but was suffering financially.
The Newspaper Society represents and promotes the interests of Britain's regional and local press, who between them own 1,301 daily and weekly, paid-for and free newspaper titles. It was founded in 1836 and is believed to be the oldest publishers' association in the world.
Henry Jarvis Raymond - co-founder New York Times (http://www.nytco.com/images/timeline-1851.jpg)
1877 Founded by independent-minded Democrat Stilson Hutchins, The Washington Post began publishing on Thursday, December 6.
First printed version in 1878 (50 listings, no numbers); role in presidential elections, Supreme Court rulings, Senate filibusters, abstract art, subversive poetry, circus sideshows, criminal investigations, mental-health diagnoses, more.
1880 The Post published its first Sunday edition.
Maclean Hunter began in 1887, when John Bayne Maclean left his post on the Toronto Mail to found Grocer Publishing Co. and publish the Canadian Grocer, a specialized publication filled with commercial news about the food industry.
Expansion followed in 1888 with the establishment of Dry Goods Review.
1888 Hutchins purchased the Daily Republican, at that time The Post's sole morning competition, and launched The Evening Post in the only attempt ever made by The Post to publish an afternoon edition.
1889 Hutchins sold The Post to Frank Hatton, a Republican cabinet member, and Beriah Wilkins, a former Democratic congressman.
By 1890 Maclean was publishing four business journals, and had set up his own typesetting and composition operations.
In 1891, the J.B. McLean Publishing Company, Ltd. was incorporated. (Maclean was not always consistent in spelling his own last name.)
By 1893 Hugh Maclean was running the business in Toronto, while his brother J.B. worked in New York City on a short-lived art publication called Art Weekly.
Born in Toronto in 1894, Roy Thomson left school at 14 to become a bookkeeper and, later, branch manager of a cordage company.
