History

The Madras Pioneer was first published on August 25, 1904. [5] A year later Max Lueddemann purchased the paper, [6] and he sold it to Howard W. Turner in 1909. [7] William E. Johnson became the owner in 1924, [8] but died a year later of pneumonia. [9] May B. Johnson owned the paper from 1925 until 1946 when she sold it to W. H. Hall. [10]

Hall briefly operated the paper for about two years until selling out in 1948 to Bill Robinson and Elmo Smith, [11] who went on to found Eagle Newspapers. [12] A few months later Oscar W. Lange Jr. bought in as a third owner. [13]

In January 2013, the paper was sold to the Pamplin Media Group along with five other papers owned by Eagle Newspapers. [14] [15] Robert B. Pamplin Jr. sold his newspaper company in June 2024 to Carpenter Media Group. [16]
