"Note: The "history" section is usually the easiest to add. If your article will have more than 3-4 paragraphs, it's best to create at least one section, and "history" is often the best choice. This section should include information about owners and publishers. Ideally, it will mention all owners, but your source materials might have gaps. That's OK, as long as you can establish several of the owners." == History =="The Alexandria Times-Tribune is a weekly newspaper that was formed in 1903 by merging The Alexandria Times and the Alexandria Tribune. The paper was owned by the Times-Tribune Company which was headed by Joseph Bronnerman, F.C. Headington, Thomas N French, J.F. Merker, and Art G French. Otho F. Line served as the editor and business manager. The Alexandria Times-Tribune politically aligned with the Republican Party and was published on a daily basis. In 1905, Headington purchased the interest of Art G. French and Thomas N. French. In September of 1906, Line resigned as editor and manager of the paper and was replaced by Thomas N. French. Chris Myer acquired paper in late 1906 or early 1907 and sold it to Robert M. Yelvington in October of 1907. Robert M. Yelvington made the decision to have the paper become politically independent. In April of 1913 the paper sold again, exchanging from Robert M. Yelvington to William F. Baum, but Yelvington stayed on as the editor. William F. Baum ran the newspaper for the next 12 years, and then sold the paper to Deloss Arnold, who became the editor. In January of 1934 the paper was sold again to Richard Emschwiller, who appointed Robert M. Yelvington as editor. Emshwiller died on November 6, 1941 passing the paper to his daughter, Ruth Emshwiller (later Ruth Durham). On July 5, 1946 Robert. M Yelvington died and Ruth Durham sold the paper to Parker Likely and Fred A. Likely Jr. They named Shirell Fox as the editor. The pair only owned the paper for 1 month until selling it to the Times-Tribune Corporation which consisted of Robert M. Feemster, Allison M. Feemster, and David M. Feemster. The new owners name A. J. Ballinger as editor and manager. Shirell Fox replaced Ballinger in June of 1947. The following year (1948) Fox was succeeded by Blanch Russel. In 1957, Darrell L. “Bud” Zink was named to the positions of manager and editor. He purchased the Alexandria Times-Tribune from the Feemsters around the year 1962. In January of 1969 the publication frequency was changed from daily to weekly. The Alexandria Times-Tribune was sold again in the early 1970’s to the Elwood Publishing Company, which was headed by Ray Barnes, and Curtis Ellis was named as the editor and general manager of the paper.Jan Connors replaced Ellis as the editor in 1976, and Jack Barnes took over as the publisher. Around this time Jack Armstrong was named as general manager. Barnes, Connors, and Armstrong held their positions into the 1980’s. The Barnes family now owns the paper along with two other newspaper the Tipton County Tribune, which is a daily newspaper, and The Call Leader."

Anecdotes
"Note: In this case, "anecdotes" is not a good section title -- but they can be good to include, either in the lead section or in "history." Did the paper's editor get killed in a duel with the editor of a competing paper? Was a reporter fired for an undisclosed conflict of interest? Was the newspaper's office building burned to a ground, destroying the only known archives of its first decade? Stuff like this is great to include. Generally, it should not be the entire basis of notability; but it can add nice color to an article that is otherwise a bit dry. See WP:UNDUE for a sense of how much detail is approporiate to add to Wikipedia." == See also ==* (optional)*  List of*  Links to*  Other relevant Wikipedia articles== References ==== Further reading =="Note: This section is not usually necessary. But it can be useful if, for instance, you've found a good reference source for the paper, but haven't been able to get the book from the library, or haven't had time to pore through it enough to find specific points to use as footnotes." == External links ==* metrobulletin.com"(Typically, this section will contain a newspaper's website. Do not include multiple links to the paper's own properties, though (e.g., web site, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). If they don't link those prominently on their own web site, it's not our job to correct that oversight. For a newspaper, there are rarely other relevant "external links," but WP:EL will give you a bit more context of what can go in this section."

For newspapers, the two listed above are typically the easy ones to add; you want to add categories that already exist. You should be able to find one for the city or county, and another for newspapers published in the state, though the exact names might vary a bit. Try looking at articles on other newspapers in the area, to see what categories they use.If adding categories to a draft article, use a colon after the opening brackets, as above. This will "disable" the categories prior to publication. Once the article is published (moved out of "draft" status), the leading colon can be removed, activating the category link."
