Fred Zipp, editor, The Austin American-Statesman, says The Statesman was launched in the 1870s. The Statesman was locally owned until Cox Enterprises purchased it in the 1970s. In 2008, The Statesman was put up for sale, according to Zipp, but subsequently that initiative was withdrawn. Now The Statesman is one of four remaining newspapers in the Cox Media group.
