History
The paper was founded in 1937.[2] Walter C. Taylor Jr. bought the Sandy Post, along with the nearby Gresham Outlook and several other Oregon papers, in the early 1960s.[3] Taylor and Lee Irwin sold the newspaper in 1977 to the Democrat-Herald Publishing Co., which published the Albany Democrat-Herald.[4]
Capital Cities purchased the company in 1980,[5] which itself was acquired by The Walt Disney Company in 1995.[6] Disney sold its Oregon newspapers to Lee Enterprises in 1997.[7] Three years later Robert B. Pamplin, Jr. acquired the Post from Lee Enterprises in 2000.[8] Pamplin Media Group was sold to June 2024 to Carpenter Media Group.[9] Later that year the Estacada News was absorbed into the Post.[10]
Awards
In 2019 the Post won the General Excellence award for weekly newspapers from the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association.[11]
