The Industrial News was a newspaper serving Iaeger, West Virginia, and surrounding McDowell County. [1] Published weekly, it had a 2016 circulation of 972 and was owned by Moffitt Newspapers. [2] It ceased publishing in March 2017. [3]
The paper was started in 1923 [4] by R. R. Cauble, previously of the Miners Journal. [5] Originally published in Coeburn, Virginia, the paper was initially moved to Pocahontas County in early 1926, [6] after its 1925 sale to editor James A. Johnson. [5] It was subsequently moved to Iaeger in September 1926. [4] Johnson, who was made a member of the 50 year club of the West Virginia State Newspaper Council in 1941, sold the paper in 1945 and retired, dying two years later. [7]
The paper does not appear to have ever had a website. In recent years it had been run by Moffett Newspapers, under publisher Melissa Nester. [2]
