PROFILE |
 |
There's no business like the news business for The Copley Press. The family-owned and -operated publisher has holdings that include "The San Diego Union-Tribune," and nearly 20 other newspapers -- mostly in Illinois, Ohio, and Southern California. In addition, it has interests in newsprint production and owns a resort (La Casa del Zorro) and the six-bureau Copley News Service. The company is owned by descendants of James Copley, adopted son of founder Colonel Ira Copley. Colonel Copley bought his first newspaper in Aurora, Illinois, in 1905. In 2001 Helen Copley turned over the day-to-day operations of the company and her title of chairman to her son David.
