History

This newspaper, along with Adirondack Daily Enterprise , was purchased by William M. Doolittle Jr. in 1970. [1] Other newspapers, [4] [5] including The New York Times , cite some of their stories. [6] [7] It also covers Lake Placid, New York. [8] [9]

In 1977, The New York Times used the phrase "vigorous criticism" to describe opposition by Lake Placid News to "total disregard for the safety of the people who hike the state's trails." [10] The Times noted their reporting about what a local association called "a desecration" of "the only site in the state that has anything to do with the Civil War." [11]

In 2026, Ogden Newspapers sold the Enterprise and the News to John DeAugustine, owner of The Daily Gazette . [12]
