History
[edit | edit source]The Havre Daily Promoter was founded in 1914 by Louis Whitfield Pierson.[2][3] Three years later he died,[4][5] and the paper was sold by Maud R. Pierson to O. H. P. Shelly, of Helena for $10,000.[6] In 1925, the Daily Promoter was consolidated with the Evening News to form the Havre Daily News-Promoter.[7][8] R.G. "Liney" Linebarger became publisher in 1920. He sold the newspaper in 1928 and went on to found the Harve Independent in 1931.[9] Linebarger, and fellow co-owner Sam D. Goza, sold the paper to John Survant, owner of the Philips County News.[10] Wellington D. Rankin was also a co-owner before Linebarger bought him out.[10]
The Havre Daily News was purchased by Scripps League Newspapers in 1963,[11] which spun off its newspapers to form Pioneer News Group in 1974.[12] The company sold the newspaper in 2005 to Robb Hicks, Gary Stevenson and Tom Mullen.[13] In 2011, Stacy Mantle succeeded Martin Cody as publisher of the Havre Daily News, and in 2021 sports editor George Ferguson took over as publisher.[14] In May 2024, the paper moved from daily to weekly publication and changed its name to the Havre Weekly Chronicle.[15] In January 2025, the newspaper was sold to Mullen Newspaper Company.[16]
