History
[edit]The newspaper was started by Frank B. Thayer and Joel R. Hill, a Kansas City banker, in 1928 as a result of the merger of two newspapers, the Creston Evening News and the Creston Daily Advertiser.[3][4] Creston Evening News was founded as a weekly in 1879 and began daily circulation in 1881.[5] The Creston News Advertiser was purchased by Shaw Media in 1946.[6] The paper ever since has managed by a subsidiary called Creston Publishing Company.[5] The company has also published the Fontanelle Observer and the Adair County Free Press since 2017.[7]
