Ownership

The Teton Valley News was first published in 1909 by J. F. Blumer. [3] F. C. Madsen published the paper for three decades and was known for using a rare typewriter with a linotype keyboard from Denmark where he learned the craft. [4] In 1944, Elsie Madsen sold the paper to V. E. Lansberry. [5]

In 1971, George Norton purchased the newspaper. He sold it in 1978 to Fred and Elizabeth McCabe, owners of the Jackson Hole Guide. [6] In January 2006, Pioneer Newspapers of Seattle acquired the paper from Grand Teton News, a group of Wyoming family owners including Gary and Sue Stevenson; Robb and Jen Hicks; and Tom and Annie Mullen. [7] Pioneer sold its papers to Adams Publishing Group in 2017. [8]
