The story

The Norfolk Landmark was established in 1873. It had various editors. K. C. Murray was one of them. He testified in suit against another paper for slander. Lucien D. Starke, a former state legislator, was one of its presidents.

Norfolk Newspapers was founded in 1905 as a holding company for the newspaper properties of Samuel L. Slover, including the Norfolk Landmark. They included papers which would eventually become today's Virginian-Pilot.

Frank Batten, Slover's nephew, took over the company in 1955, and changed its name to Norfolk-Portsmouth Newspapers Inc. in 1957 (reflecting the merger of the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch and Portsmouth Star), then to Landmark Communications in 1967. Landmark Media Enterprises was spun off from Landmark Communications in 2008. Landmark is controlled by the Batten family.
