Early History

The newspaper was established by Joe Dove, former business editor of The Clarion-Ledger. He led the newspaper until 1984 when he sold it to Richard Roper, head of Downhome Publications and publisher of the Mississippi Magazine. Two years later, Roper sold the publication to Rosa Lee Harden Jones, who along with her husband Kevin, managed the paper for nearly a decade. Buddy Bynum and Joe Jones, were hired as publisher and editor in 1995.

The Dolan Company

The Dolan Company, purchased the paper in 2007 as part of its New Orleans Publishing Group. In 2008, Ross Reily, former sports editor for the Sun Herald in Biloxi and managing editor for the Delta Democrat Times in Greenville and Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal in Tupelo, was named managing editor.

In 2009, Dolan veteran Alan Turner was named publisher. In 2010, MBJ relaunched its official website including an Internet video channel.
