Anne Chambers is the surviving daughter of Cox Enterprises founder James M. Cox (d. 1957). James Cox started the company in 1898 when he purchased the Dayton Evening News for $26,000. Today the company includes Cox Communications (broadband and cable), Cox Media Group (newspapers, TV and ration stations), Manheim (car auctions), and AutoTrader.com.
In January the company cancelled plans to take AutoTrader.com public, citing current market conditions. At age 93 Chambers continues to sit on the board. Her nephew, Jim Kennedy, is chairman. She was ambassador to Belgium under President Jimmy Carter and holds the French Legion of Honor title. Atlanta's High Museum of Art named a wing after her.
