The News Tribune

Newspaper PublishingWashington, United States51-200 Employees

Many of The News Tribune's recently hired journalists say they have never before worked in a market where the newspaper was as highly regarded as The News Tribune. Why? It has been a community newspaper throughout its history. The paper grew up with the community, has been and is relied on to reflect community values and to be vigilant on behalf of community interests. The signature distinction of The News Tribune is how thoroughly it dominates the local news market of Pierce County, virtually unchallenged by the larger Seattle newspapers. No Seattle newspapers or television stations come close to The News Tribune's status as the most authoritative source of local news. The News Tribune excels in its coverage of local and breaking news, major league and prep sports, and Washington's statehouse. The paper is particularly noted for its strong sports coverage, which was a deliberate strategy of the first editors that took over under McClatchy. Its photography staff is among the best in the region. And to tell the unique story of the South Puget Sound, The News Tribune also provides strong coverage of the Port of Tacoma, the military and outdoor recreation in the Northwest.
