Elizabeth Scripps "Nackey" Loeb (February 24, 1924 – January 8, 2000) was publisher of the Manchester Union Leader newspaper (later The New Hampshire Union Leader) in Manchester, New Hampshire, from 1981 to 1999. She was a granddaughter of newspaper titan E.W. Scripps, and helped her husband William Loeb 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 also founded the Nackey S. Loeb School of Communications, which has majority ownership of the Union Leader newspaper and gives out an annual Nackey S. Loeb First Amendment Award. She used a wheelchair after a 1977 car accident left her paralyzed from the chest down and President Ronald Reagan in 1984 appointed her to the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board.
