History
The Evening Post Publishing Company was formed by rice planter Arthur Manigault in 1896 to acquire the Charleston Courier. Manigault's son Robert became publisher in 1924.
The company launched an international syndication arm, Editors Press Service, in 1933.
Robert's brother Edward took over in 1945 after Robert's death; he was in turn succeeded by his son Peter..
In 2004, the Evening Post Publishing Company sold Editors Press Service to the Universal Press Syndicate, which renamed it Atlantic Syndication.
The company also owned the Buenos Aires Herald in Argentina, Latin America's oldest English language newspaper, until 2007.
