Charles E. Scripps, scion of a legendary media family and the board chairman of The E.W. Scripps Co. for more than four decades, died Saturday of natural causes at age 87 near his home in Naples, Fla.
Charles Scripps' long tenure as head of the company founded in 1878 by his grandfather, Edward W. Scripps, was marked by dramatic expansion into new businesses and impressive financial growth.
After 57 years on the company's board of directors, Scripps retired in May 2003.
