Edward King Gaylord (March 5, 1873 – May 30, 1974), often referred to as E.K. Gaylord, was the owner and publisher of The Daily Oklahoman newspaper (now The Oklahoman), as well as a radio and television entrepreneur. A native of Kansas and educated in Colorado, he worked on several publications[1] before moving to Oklahoma and buying an interest in The Daily Oklahoman.[2] He built the publication into a statewide newspaper and took over its parent company, the Oklahoma Publishing Company (OPUBCO), in 1918.[2]
After his death in 1974, Gaylord's family continued to run the newspaper until OPUBCO was sold to The Anschutz Corporation in 2011.
