Lubbock Avalanche-Journal is a newspaper based in Lubbock, Texas, United States. It is owned by Gannett. The Lubbock Avalanche was founded in 1900 by John James Dillard and Thad Tubbs. According to Dillard, the name "Avalanche" was chosen due to his desire that the newspaper surprise the citizens of Lubbock. The newspaper was sold to James Lorenzo Dow in 1908. In 1922, the Avalanche became a daily newspaper (except for Mondays) and a year later added a morning edition. In 1926, the owners of the rival Lubbock Daily Journal, editor Charles A. Guy and partner Dorrance Roderick, bought The Avalanche to form The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. The pair partnered with Houston Harte and Bernard Hanks, later of Harte Hanks, as well as J. Lindsay Nunn of The Amarillo Daily News and Post. In 1928, Guy, Roderick, and Nunn bought control of the Avalanche-Journal from Harte and Hanks. Guy was named editor and publisher in 1931 of The Avalanche-Journal, a position he held until 1972. Other journalists to serve as editor were Jay Harris, Burle Pettit, Randy Sanders, Terry Greenberg and James Bennett. More information...
