A brief history of the Chronicle

The Braith­waites founded the pa­per in East Al­bany in late March, 1974, with their friend and fel­low jour­nal­ist, Ed­ward Cowan of Wash­ing­ton, D.C. Mr. Cowan sold his in­ter­est in the news­pa­per to the Braith­waites in the fall of 1974.

In 2014 eleven long-time em­ploy­ees of the Chron­i­cle agreed to buy the weekly news­pa­per from its found­ing pub­lish­ers, Chris and Ellen Braith­waite.
