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]
