The Houston Press was a Scripps Howard daily afternoon newspaper, founded in 1911, in Houston, Texas.[2] Under the leadership of founding editor Paul C. Edwards (1911–16), Marcellus E. Foster, known as "Mefo" (1927–37), and George Carmack (1946–64), the newspaper developed a reputation for flashy stories about violence and sex and for exposés of political malfeasance. It ceased publication in 1964.[3]
