History of covering the news
Dan and Lee Alvey began The Picayune in 1991. Before owning his own publication, Alvey worked at The Highlander from 1974 to 1987, starting in ad sales and finishing as Publisher. Wife, Lee, also honed her publishing skills at The Highlander serving as Treasurer of Highland Publishing.
The two began their own newspaper empire in 1991 with publication of The Picayune. From a small office on Main Street, the paper outgrew several locations before moving into its current facilities on Avenue K, where KBEY 103.9 FM Radio Picayune studios also reside.
After establishing The Picayune, the Alveys sought to meet the community’s need for a paper more focused on hard news coverage. The River Cities Tribune began weekly publication in 1995. In 2005, The Tribune became the area’s first ever daily paper.
