Flint Journal
The Flint Journal has had only three publishers in 125 years. . No, they didn’t average more than 41 years apiece in the job; the job didn’t exist until 1978, more than a century after the newspaper was founded. <br> So who ran the operation before 1978? It was a team effort: an editor on the news content side and a manager on the business and financial side. In the early years, the manager was most likely also the owner.
