James Strohn Copley (1916-1973) was an American journalist and newspaper publisher. He published the San Diego Union and San Diego Evening Tribune, which later merged into the San Diego Union-Tribune. Another former owner's pencil signature in top margin of front pastedown: "Donald Walters." Purple stamp dated 1893 on front free endpaper of the "Railroad News Co." (on Hotel San Rafael ad).
