The Sandy Post is a weekly newspaper in Oregon serving Sandy, the Villages at Mount Hood and the surrounding areas. It is owned by Pamplin Media Group.
History
The paper was founded in 1937.[1] It was first published by Mrs. Fern G. Lambert on January 6, 1938. Orval G. Butler purchased the Post in 1940.[2] Butler sold it in 1947 to Tom B. Purcell, publisher of the nearby Gresham Outlook.[3]
Walter C. Taylor Jr. bought the two papers, along with several others Oregon, in the early 1960s.[4] Taylor and Lee Irwin sold the newspaper in 1977 to the Democrat-Herald Publishing Co., which published the Albany Democrat-Herald.[5]
Capital Cities purchased the company in 1980,[6] which itself was acquired by The Walt Disney Company in 1995.[7] Disney sold its Oregon newspapers to Lee Enterprises in 1997.[8] Three years later Robert B. Pamplin, Jr. acquired the Post from Lee Enterprises in 2000.[9]
In February 2004, The Sandy Profile, a rival newspaper, was merged into the Post.[10] In June 2024, Pamplin Media Group was sold to Carpenter Media Group.[11] Later that year the Estacada News was absorbed into the Post.[12]
Awards
In 2019, the Post won the General Excellence award for weekly newspapers from the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association.[13]
