History

The newspaper was founded in 1893 as the Virginia Enterprise and switched to its current name in 1945. The very first editor of the paper was named R. McGarry, who was succeeded by D. A. Cuppernoll in 1895.[5]

In 2014, Adams Publishing group acquired 34 papers, including the Daily News, from American Consolidated Media.[6]
