The Pressures Rise, and Circulation Falls, for Oakland's New Tribune
Date: 11 October 1993

At times, the fortunes of this city of 375,000 have been linked to the financial ups and downs of The Oakland Tribune, a 119-year-old daily.
In the summer of 1991, the city was already bruised by the damage of the 1989 earthquake and the financial wounds of a struggling local economy; later that year, a fire would consume entire neighborhoods in the city's hills. The Tribune, meanwhile, had became so burdened by debt that its doom seemed near, and civic and church leaders rallied subscribers and investors so that Oakland would not be known as the largest city in America without its own paper.
Criticism of Coverage
But the relations between this city, whose population is predominantly black, and the newspaper have cooled in the last 10 months, ever since the newspaper changed hands. Robert C. Maynard, the prominent black journalist who ran the paper with his wife, Nancy, sold The Tribune to the Alameda Newspaper Group, part of the Houston-based Media News Group, which operates The Houston Post, The Denver Post and other newspapers. (Mr. Maynard died in August.)
