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 Maggie Cassidy,[4] and John Gregg is the news editor.[5][6]

The paper was founded in 1952 by Allan Churchill Butler.[7] Shortly thereafter he sold the paper to James D. Ewing and Walter Paine.[8] Paine would serve as editor and publisher of the paper for twenty-four years.[9] 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.[10]

Newspapers of New England, a private company based in Concord, New Hampshire, bought the Valley News in 1981 and has owned it since.[11]

Editorial positions

The Valley News has editorialized in support of same-sex marriage.[12]
