The newspaper was named the Gresham Outlook from 1911 to 1991 and was published by H. L. St. Clair,[ 4] who incorporated the business as the Outlook Publishing Company in 1917. The paper was renamed simply The Outlook in 1991.[ 5]
The newspaper was purchased in 1960 by Lee Irwin and Walt Taylor,[ 6] and Irwin was its publisher from 1960 to 1982.[ 7] He was followed by Robert Caldwell for a relatively short period, with Steven J. Clark being named publisher effective April 4, 1983.[ 8]
