# The Tuscaloosa News

The Tuscaloosa News is a daily newspaper serving Tuscaloosa, Alabama, United States, and the surrounding area in west central Alabama. It is owned by Gannett.
In 2012, Halifax Media Group acquired the Tuscaloosa News. Prior to that, the paper's owner was The New York Times Company. The New York Times Company acquired the News in 1985 from the Public Welfare Foundation, a charitable entity. The News had been donated to that foundation by its owner Edward Marsh, along with other newspapers he owned, before his death in 1964.
In 2015, Halifax was acquired by GateHouse Media (legally known as New Media Investment Group). In 2019, Gatehouse's parent company was purchased by Gannett.
The News has a 12-month average circulation in 2008 of 32,700 daily and 34,600 Sunday. Of the 25 daily newspapers published in Alabama, the News has the fifth-highest daily circulation. Beginning in 2001, the News constructed and occupied a new 90,000-square-foot (8,400 m$^2$) facility overlooking the Black Warrior River.
The Tuscaloosa News has received two Pulitzer Prizes. The first was in 1957, when the paper won the prize for editorial writing, for Buford Boone's editorials on the issue of segregation at the University of Alabama, as exemplified by "What A Price For Peace". The second Pulitzer Prize was awarded for the paper's outstanding reporting on the tornado outbreaks of April 25 to 28, 2011.
Because Tuscaloosa is home to the University of Alabama, the News places particular emphasis on coverage of its sports programs, and maintains a separate website for that coverage.
Since late 2012, the Tuscaloosa News has become available in the Birmingham, Alabama, area. The reason for its expansion into Birmingham is to fill a perceived void in the market when the Birmingham News cut back publication to three days a week earlier in the year.

# The Weekly Ringer

The Weekly Ringer is the University of Mary Washington's official weekly student newspaper. Founded as The Bullet in 1922, the editors of the paper changed the name to The Blue and Gray Press in 2018 and to its present name in 2022. Located in Fredericksburg, Virginia, the student publication is printed every Friday, and distributed to the UMW undergraduate campus.

## History

Founded as The Bullet in 1922 at Mary Washington College. Located in Fredericksburg, Virginia, the student publication is printed every Friday, and distributed to the college's undergraduate campus.
In the summer of 2014, The Bullet announced on its Facebook page that the newspaper was being relaunched as The Blue and Gray Press. In an interview with Campus Reform, editor-in-chief Alison Thoet criticized The Bullet as a name that "propagated violence" and said, "In this day and age, no one really cares about the Civil War," referring to the previous name's allusion to Fredericksburg's history as a major U.S. Civil War battlefield.
The name change was met with some controversy among the student body, alumni, and online as the story was reported by news outlets and blogs, prompting the board to pen an open letter clarifying its reasoning: "The Blue & Gray Press is a symbol of the school it serves and the locale in which it publishes." Some alumni and students responded to the letter, criticizing the board's decision to rename the paper after nearly a century as The Bullet. "I was a proud member of the class of '88. A bit less proud now," one commenter wrote. "Shame on you. Error and hypocrisy. Abandon history for political correctness stating reasons which are wrong to begin with."
"The Blue" and "the Gray" commonly refer to the two sides who fought in the United States Civil War. The soldiers of the United States of America (U.S., U.S.A., Union, North, Yankees) wore dark blue uniforms. The officers of the Confederate States of America (C.S.A., Confederacy, South, Rebels) wore gray uniforms. The Battle of Fredericksburg, Virginia was fought both on and near the current site of the University of Mary Washington.
The name of the paper was changed again in 2022 to The Weekly Ringer.

# Vermont Eagle

The Vermont Eagle is a weekly newspaper based in Middlebury, VT, that serves Addison, southern Chittenden, and northern Rutland counties. The paper is published on Saturdays and has a circulation of 14,464.
The Vermont Eagle is owned by Denton Publications. Lou Varricchio is the current editor. The publication has received several editorial and advertising awards by the Association of Free Community Publications, Inc., based in Liverpool, New York. The newspaper also publishes a free, quarterly color magazine, Our State Vermont. The Eagle ceased publication in October 2021.

## History

The paper was established in 1999 as the Addison Eagle. The paper immediately faced startup challenges, as one of its founding partners, Tom Lavoie, was found to have a criminal history. At least one of the investors in the paper, Bernard Rome, a former Republican gubernatorial candidate, asked to have his investment returned. The Eagle, which was framed as a conservative alternative to the other Addison County weekly, the liberal Addison County Independent, had numerous Republican and libertarian investors at the time.
In 2001, the Vermont Eagle was embroiled in a conflict with its competitor newspaper, the Addison County Independent. The editor of the Eagle, Lou Varricchio, took offense at an Addison Independent ad touting its quality and performance as a vehicle for advertising. Varricchio posted an editorial in the Eagle, calling the ad "slick, un-Vermont attack advertising." The Addison Independent's editor, Angelo Lynn, fired back with an editorial criticizing the Eagle for "un-American journalistic practices." Antagonistic editorials continued back-and-forth into the beginning of 2002. Around that time, facing financial troubles, the Eagle announced that it would begin charging readers .50 per copy. But with increased local business advertising support under new management, the Eagle returned to offering the publication without charge. The paper's name was also changed to reflect a wider regional distribution area as readership grew.
In 2003, because of ongoing financial struggles, the Vermont Eagle was purchased by New Market Press. New Market Press was co-founded by Ed Coats and Dan Alexander, who own Denton Publications, which now owns the Vermont Eagle. Denton Publication is considered a sister publication group to the New Market Press.
In 2009, the Vermont Times was absorbed into the Vermont Eagle. In 2016, the Green Mountain Outlook was absorbed into the Vermont Eagle.
Varricchio left the Eagle briefly in 2017 to head up an online outlet called Vermont Watchdog. By April 2017, he had returned to the Eagle, citing re-organizations at the Watchdog.

## Digital Presence

The Vermont Eagle maintains an online presence through its distributor The Sun Community News and Printing.

# Wallowa County Chieftain

The Wallowa County Chieftain is a weekly newspaper in Enterprise, Wallowa County in the U.S. state of Oregon.

## History

Founded in Joseph in 1884 by S. A. Heckethorn, the newspaper preceded the establishment of the county itself. A few years after Enterprise was selected as the county seat, the paper relocated there. Though the newspaper was named after Chief Joseph, it was not particularly friendly to Native American issues, and opposed a Joseph's request to resettle Wallowa Valley in 1900.
George Cheney became the owner, editor, and publisher in 1911, on the wave of an economic boom experienced in Enterprise upon the completion of a railroad and sawmill, as well as a booming agricultural business. Cheney built a new building, designed to meet the needs of the paper, which it occupied beginning in 1916. Cheney sold the Enterprise Chieftain in 1941 to Gwen Tappen Coffin. Under Coffin, the paper absorbed the Wallowa Sun in 1942 to form the Wallowa Chieftain, and then the Chief Joseph Herald in 1959 to become the Wallowa County Chieftain.
Coffin was a "controversial editor" who wrote columns opposing the internment of Japanese Americans, opposing the Vietnam War and opposing increased logging in federal forests. He was induced into the Oregon Newspaper Hall of Fame in 1993 and died the following year. Coffin operated the paper until 1971. He sold the Chieftain to his son-in-law Don Swart Sr., who operated the paper until selling it to his son and daughter-in-law Richard and Cheryl Swart in 1998. In March 2000, the East Oregonian Publishing Co. purchased the newspaper from Richard and Cheryl Swart.
In June 2024, EO Media Group announced the Wallowa County Chieftain will cease print publication and go online-only. All print subscribers will instead receive the East Oregonian, published weekly and including news from Wallowa County Chieftain's website. In October 2024, the company was sold to Carpenter Media Group. In December 2024, the paper's editor was laid off, leaving only one reporter to cover Wallowa and Union counties.
# Washington Free Press

The Washington Free Press was a biweekly radical underground newspaper published in Washington, DC, beginning in 1966, when it was founded by representatives of the five colleges in Washington as a community paper for local Movement people. It was an early member of the Underground Press Syndicate. Starting in December, 1967 they shared a three-story house in northwest Washington with the Liberation News Service, the Washington Draft Resistance Union, and a local chapter of the anti-draft group Resistance. A print shop was in the basement, and other activist groups used the space and got their mail there. The paper's original founders and editors included Michael Grossman, Arthur Grosman and former State Department computer programmer William Blum, but the staff went through many changes and by 1969 nobody on the paper was even acquainted with any of the original founders.
The paper opposed the war in Vietnam and tended to follow the politics of SDS. Washington Free Press reporters insisted on their place in the Washington press corps and demanded entry to briefings and other press events until they were admitted. Topics covered in the paper included the antiwar movement, welfare, police brutality, campus activism at the five colleges in the area, drugs, abortion, and the youth culture. In 1969 it had a reported circulation of 23,000 copies.
A column containing reviews of illicit drugs was written by Pete Novick (born c.1948) under the pseudonym Fooman Zybar. Some of Novick's articles would contain usage safety and criticism of government policies.
