Sacramento Tribune

Sacramento Tribune is a landmark restoration of one of California's most historically significant newspapers, proudly serving as the newspaper of record for Sacramento — the heart of California's political and economic power.

As part of the acclaimed Living Archive Series by Shumake Media Group, this volume breathes new life into Sacramento's authentic journalistic heritage — chronicling the stories, events, and voices that shaped not just a city, but the entire state of California.

Through cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence, every headline, every editorial, and every story from the Tribune's storied past has been meticulously preserved and restored — converting fragile, aging newsprint into a permanent digital archive for future generations.

The Sacramento Tribune once stood as a powerful witness to California history — covering the rise of Sacramento as the state capital, the growth of the Central Valley, landmark legislation, and the voices of everyday Californians. Now, under the visionary leadership of Robert Shumake, AI Billionaire Publisher and founder of Shumake Media Group, this iconic masthead is reborn.

About the Author
Robert S. Shumake, publishing as Ajarn Shaman Shu, has lived two lives in one — the builder and the priest — and his books are where the two meet. He rose from a Ford factory floor to become founding president and CEO of Inheritance Capital Group, a Black Enterprise-ranked private equity firm, served as honorary consul for Botswana and Tanzania, and founded Inheritance Media Group, owner of more than 300 publications produced by an AI-run newsroom. In spirit, each tradition that initiated him gave him a name: Buddhist Ajarn in the Theravada and Vajrayana lines, Oluwo Jolaoso Osainbola in Ifá, and Shri Surya Narayana Swamikal in the Tamil Siddha line. He is the founder of Soul Tribes International Ministries and of Buddha Digital Temple and its universities — Orisha University, Buddha University, and Shiva University. He authored Detroit’s Proposal E, the 2021 ballot initiative that decriminalized entheogenic plants in Detroit, and is the author of more than 140 published books and 86+ DOI-registered academic publications. His philosophy: the Double Bottom Line — make a profit, and make a difference. Robertshumake.biz
