The company was founded by H.C. Ogden in 1890, and is currently run by the family of his grandson, G. Ogden Nutting. Current CEO Robert Nutting, son of G. Ogden Nutting, is the fourth generation of the Ogden-Nutting family to run the company, and is also principal owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates.[3][4]
In October 1984, two Ogden newspapers (The Intelligencer and The Evening Journal) dropped the Doonesbury comic strip because they objected to Doonesbury's coverage of Ronald Reagan.[5]
On January 30, 2018, it emerged that the company was the apparent high bid to purchase the bankrupt Charleston Gazette-Mail.[6] It withdrew the bid on March 8, 2018.[7] Also in March 2018, the company purchased all newspapers owned by the Byrd family. The sale included The Winchester Star, Daily News-Record, The Page News and Courier, The Warren Sentinel, The Shenandoah Valley-Herald and The Valley Banner.[8]
On January 1, 2022, Ogden Newspapers took over Swift Communications, which has publications in Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and California.[9]
In 2024, Ogden purchased The Dominion Post.[10]
