The News-Times recently was renamed to be the Lincoln County Leader and is a weekly newspaper published in Newport, Oregon, United States. It was established in 1882 and publishes on Wednesdays and Fridays with a circulation of 6,680. [1] It is the newspaper of record for Lincoln County. [2]
At least 20 different newspapers have been published in the Lincoln County area. [3] The county's first newspaper was the Yaquina Post, established in 1882 and published in Yaquina City by Collins Van Cleve. [3] In 1889, Van Cleve was also publishing the Scio Press out of Yaquina City. [3] One of the papers, founded in 1886, was called the Newport News, but it was short-lived. [4]
Various newspapers started and closed until 1893, when, in the same year Lincoln County was officially established from part of Benton County, two newspapers were started: the Yaquina Bay News out of Newport, and the Lincoln County Leader out of Toledo. [3] The Yaquina Bay News became known as the Newport News by the 1960s, after many ownership and name changes and mergers. [3] At this time the Newport News bought out the Lincoln County Times of Waldport, the two names were combined to form the News-Times. [3] The News-Times bought the Lincoln County Leader about a year later. [3]
In 2007, the paper was sold by Lee Enterprises to News Media Corporation. [5] It was sold again in 2023 to Country Media, Inc. [6]
In January 2024, Country Media merged the Newport News-Times and Lincoln City News Guard into a single newspaper named after the Lincoln County Leader, which had published for 94 years from 1893 to 1987. [7] The plan was first announced in the previous October. [8]
