Although the newspaper's offices are in Lebanon, its mailing address is a post office box in nearby White River Junction, Vermont. The newspaper covers communities on both sides of the Connecticut River, which forms the state line.[1] The paper's circulation is 16,522.[2][3] The current editor is Matt Clary.[4]
The paper was founded in 1952 by Allan Churchill Butler.[5] Shortly thereafter he sold the paper to James D. Ewing and Walter Paine.[6] Paine would serve as editor and publisher of the paper for twenty-four years.[7] In 2012, the Valley News, the Nashua Telegraph, and PolitiFact established "PolitiFact '12 NH," a fact-checking effort focused on the candidates in the 2012 United States presidential election. At the time, Jeffrey Good was the Valley News' editor.[8]
Newspapers of New England, a private company based in Concord, New Hampshire, bought the Valley News in 1981 and has owned it since.[9]
Until the end of 2023, the Valley News was published seven days a week. The Sunday Valley News was last published December 31, 2023. Starting on January 6, 2023, a Weekend edition was published on Saturday. It included the recurring items from both Saturday and Sunday, e.g., the daily comics for Saturday and the usual Sunday comics.
