"Lubbock Avalanche-Journal" is a newspaper based in Lubbock, Texas, U.S.. It is owned by the Morris Communications Company. The "Lubbock Avalanche-Journal" was a combination of two newspapers, the "Lubbock Avalanche" and the "Lubbock Daily Journal".
The "Lubbock Avalanche" was founded by attorney John James Dillard with his business partner Thad Tubbs, who provided the money for the equipment to publish a newspaper in 1900. According to Dillard, the origin of the newspaper's "Avalanche" name came from his desire that the newspaper surprise the citizens of Lubbock.
Dillard sold his newspaper 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. The "Avalanche" merged with rival publication, the "Lubbock Daily Journal", to form the "Lubbock Avalanche-Journal".
The "Amarillo Globe-News" Publishing Company, headed by Eugene A. Howe and Wilbur C. Hawk, would later own the majority of "Avalanche-Journal". In 1951, the Whittenburg family in Amarillo, Texas, acquired the "Lubbock Avalanche-Journal", after their Panhandle Publishing Company was merged with Amarillo Globe-News Publishing Company. In 1972, both the "Lubbock Avalanche-Journal" and "Amarillo Globe-News" were acquired by Morris Communications Corporation of Augusta, Georgia.
