The Corpus Christi Caller-Times is the newspaper of record for Corpus Christi, Texas, part of the Gannett-owned USA Today Network. It was the first outlet to report U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney's February 2006 hunting accident.
The paper traces to the Caller, founded in 1883 by Eli Merriman, Ed Williams and W.P. Caruthers, with King Ranch founder Richard King as an original stockholder. A separate paper, the Times, was founded in 1917. Houston Harte and Bernard Hanks, founders of Harte-Hanks Communications, acquired the Times in 1928 and the Caller from King Ranch in 1929, combining them as the Caller-Times. The paper moved into its current building at 820 North Lower Broadway in 1935. Harte-Hanks remained owner until 1997, when the Scripps-Howard Group took over. In April 2015, then-owner E.W. Scripps Company split into two entities, moving the Caller-Times into the print-focused Journal Media Group; that October, Gannett agreed to acquire Journal Media Group for about $280 million, completing the deal in spring 2016.
