The News Virginian is a newspaper owned by Lee Enterprises. The paper serves residents in the cities of Waynesboro and Staunton, Virginia, as well as Augusta and Nelson counties.

History

The News Virginian traces its publishing history to the Valley Virginian, which issued its first edition in 1901.[3] The Valley Virginian consolidated with the Waynesboro News in November 1929, becoming the Waynesboro News-Virginian by owner / publisher Louis Spilman.[4] In 1960, the paper took on its current moniker of The News Virginian.[5]

Starting June 27, 2023, the print edition of the newspaper will be reduced to three days a week: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Also, the newspaper will transition from being delivered by a traditional newspaper delivery carrier to mail delivery by the U.S. Postal Service.[6]
