Lee Enterprises, Inc
A publisher of local newspapers across the United States, Lee Enterprises produces dailies like the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Omaha World-Herald and Buffalo News, along with dozens of smaller community papers and their websites. It began in 1890 when Alfred W. Lee founded the company in Davenport, Iowa, later expanding through a string of acquisitions, including the 2005 purchase of Pulitzer, which brought the Post-Dispatch into the fold. A century-plus later, the family-named outfit still calls Davenport home.
