The sale included The Winchester Star , Daily News-Record , The Page News and Courier , The Warren Sentinel, The Shenandoah Valley-Herald and The Valley Banner. [8]

On January 1, 2022, Ogden Newspapers took over Swift Communications, which has publications in Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and California. [9]
