History

Navy Times was founded by Mel Ryder, owner of Army Times Publishing Company, in 1951.

Ryder began his newspaper career on the staff of Stars and Stripes, selling and delivering papers to the troops on the front lines during World War I. In 1921, he joined Willard Kiplinger in forming the Kiplinger Agency, a newsletter service. He sold his interest in the agency in 1933 and began publishing Happy Days, a paper for members of the Civilian Conservation Corps. His first order was for 400 copies and the first advertiser was GEICO. In 1940, Ryder started and incorporated the Army Times newspaper.

In 1997, Army Times Publishing Company was sold to Gannett, and later renamed Gannett Government Media. In June 2009, Navy Times started its "Scoop Deck" blog. [3]

In 2015, the GGM group was spun off as part of TEGNA, Gannett's broadcast and digital-only business group. GGM was later renamed Sightline Media Group.

In 2016, TEGNA sold Sightline to Regent, a Los Angeles–based private equity firm. [4]
