Elizabeth Scripps "Nackey" Loeb (February 24, 1924 – January 8, 2000) was an American newspaper publisher. Her paternal grandfather was the namesake of the E. W. Scripps Company. Her second husband, William Loeb III, was publisher of the Manchester Union Leader newspaper of Manchester, New Hampshire, for 35 years. Upon his death in 1981, Nackey Loeb became publisher and served in that role until 1999.

Biography

Elizabeth Scripps was born in Los Angeles on February 24, 1924, to Robert Paine Scripps and Margaret Lou Culbertson. Her paternal grandfather, newspaper titan E. W. Scripps, founded the E. W. Scripps Company. Her father died in 1938, shortly after her 14th birthday. She attended Francis Parker School in San Diego, then Scripps College, which had been founded by her great-aunt, Ellen Browning Scripps.

In 1944, Scripps married George Gallowhur; inventor of Skol suntan lotion. The Gallowhurs (she used Scripps-Gallowhur as her last name) had one daughter; they divorced in November 1949.

In 1952, Scripps-Gallowhur married William Loeb III, a conservative newspaper publisher who had bought the Manchester Union Leader of Manchester, New Hampshire, in the years after World War II. The Loebs had one daughter, Edith Tomasko, who died in 2014.

Nackey Loeb used a wheelchair after a 1977 car accident left her paralyzed from the chest down. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan appointed her to the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board.

Nackey Loeb helped her husband run the Union Leader for decades until his death in 1981. She then succeeded him as publisher, and served until that role until stepping down in 1999, shortly before her death. She died on January 8, 2000, at her home in Goffstown, New Hampshire.

Legacy

In 1999, Nackey Loeb founded the Nackey S. Loeb School of Communications, a private non-profit school. Annually, the school issues a First Amendment Award. The organization retains majority ownership of the Union Leader newspaper.

On May 1, 2022, Nackey Loeb's daughter from her marriage to George Gallowhur—Nackey E. Gallowhur-Scagliotti—accused her stepfather, William Loeb, of sexually molesting her when she was 7 years old. The Union Leader denounced William Loeb and removed his name from their masthead in response to the accusations.
