In 1862 the Tribune joined with the (Detroit) Daily Advertiser which then subsequently absorbed other papers, becoming the Advertiser and Tribune. It acquired new management, including James E. Scripps future founder of the Detroit News. In 1877 the Advertiser and Tribune merged with the 11 year old Detroit Daily Post and became the Post and Tribune. In 1884 after more ownership changes the name was changed to the Daily Post. In 1885 the name was changed again to the Tribune. In 1891 James E. Scripps bought the remaining stock in the Tribune to secure an Associated Press connection. Scripps continued to run the Tribune as a morning paper until February 1, 1915 when it was merged with the News. The Tribune name was used on a Sunday paper The Sunday News-Tribune until October 15, 1917 when the name was changed to The Sunday News and the Tribune name was dropped completely.
