The Ames Tribune is a newspaper published Tuesday through Sunday based in Ames, Iowa. The newspaper is owned by Gannett.

History[edit]

In 1986, the Tribune was bought by Michael Gartner and Gary Gerlach, two former executives at The Des Moines Register.[2] Gartner won the 1997 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing at the Tribune. The Omaha World-Herald Company bought the Ames Tribune in 1999 from Gartner, Gerlach, and the estate of David Belin.[3] Stephens Media purchased the Tribune from the Omaha World-Herald Company in 2010.[4][5] In 2015, the Stephens Media newspapers were sold to New Media Investment Group.[6] New Media acquired Gannett Company in 2019, making the Tribune a sibling publication to The Des Moines Register.[7]
