Hoover Gazette

The Hoover Gazette is a weekly newspaper, published on Wednesdays, covering the city of Hoover. The first edition was published June 7, 2006. The newspaper was founded and is owned by Clatus Junkin, a businessman and former circuit judge from Fayette, Alabama. Junkin's son, John, is the general manager.

At its inception, the husband and wife team of Peyton and Barbara Bobo were publishers; they also publish The Northport Gazette and The West Alabama Gazette (Millport). Robert Carter was the managing editor, and John Cargile was the sales manager. After a series of management shakeups later in 2006, Carter resigned and the Bobos were replaced by Robert Martin, who also publishes The Montgomery Independent. Cargile retired shortly thereafter.

Don Milazzo is the current managing editor; he formerly held the same position at the Birmingham Business Journal.
