Harry E Slep was born in Germany and came to America when he was ten years old. In 1872, he started publishing the Evening Mirror. In 1874, the name was changed to the Altoona Mirror.
The paper remained in the Slep family until being sold to Thomson Newspapers in 1984. Under Thomson's ownership, a Sunday edition was launched in 1987 and the paper switched its weekday publication to mornings starting in 1997. The Altoona Mirror was sold to current owner Ogden Newspapers in 1998. (wikipedia (

In 2020, the Saturday and Sunday editions were combined into one weekend edition.
