This growing division of Tribune Publishing Co. was founded in 2018 and already has 12 large, digital billboards and LED signs. The first double-sided board is on Thain Road along the 300 block in the Lewiston Orchards, near Rosauers supermarket. The second double-sided board is in Tribune Plaza at the busy downtown Lewiston intersection of Fifth and D streets, just east of the Lewiston City Library. The third is located at the intersection of 11th Avenue and 21st Street, known locally as “restaurant row.” Our fourth location is at 1225 Snake River Ave. Another key location is in Moscow, Idaho, at 222 N Main Street, prominently placed on the corner of Highway 95 and Main Street. Our newest addition to the network is also in Moscow, Idaho, at 2007 S Main Street, our “gateway” sign into Moscow on Highway 95 at a four-way intersection.

    Each board consists of the newest technology in electronic billboards.

    Although Gander Digital is a growing sibling, the ownership company—the Lewiston Tribune—is a longtime resident of the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley. The print and digital newspaper has some 100-plus employees, most of whom are residents of Clarkston, Asotin County, Lewiston and Nez Perce County.

    The newspaper was founded in Lewiston in 1892 by two brothers from Texas, E. L. Alford and Albert H. Alford. They arrived in August, 1892 at Lewiston’s Snake River Avenue landing.

    Arriving by steamboat from Portland, the young men managed to print the first weekly Tribune four-page edition on Sept. 29, 1892.

    Our Lewiston-Clarkston Valley has become a beautiful and vibrant city, full of small and large retail businesses and industries. The Tribune has likewise progressed and the newspaper company in the last decade has evolved into a company with electronic billboards and signs of today and the future (Gander Digital), a digital division with services ranging from videography to website strategy and development (Studio 1892), a direct-mail service center (Today’s Mail), web commercial printing that serves a five-state area (TPC Production) and a daily newspaper delivered electronically or to the customers’ front porches.
