The News & Advance is the daily newspaper of record in Lynchburg, Virginia. Its circulation is approximately 35,600 on weekdays, 35,000 on Saturdays and 41,200 on Sundays.[1] Its primary circulation area consists of the city of Lynchburg and the surrounding counties of Amherst, Appomattox, Bedford, and Campbell.
The News & Advance is owned by Berkshire Hathaway. Alton Brown is the publisher. Caroline Glickman is the managing editor. The newspaper uses articles from news services such as the Associated Press as well as former Media General-owned news organizations.
The News & Advance added a new printing press in 2009, manufactured by KBA. Its last press was built in 1974, when the newspaper moved to its current building. Prior to 1974, the newspaper's headquarters were in downtown Lynchburg.
The News was founded in 1866 as a morning newspaper, while The Daily Advance was founded in 1880 as an evening newspaper. In 1888, future U. S. Senator Carter Glass bought The News. In 1893, he bought The Daily Advance and merged its business operations with The News, with news and opinion operations remaining separate. The Glass family continued to publish both papers (The News, every morning; The Daily Advance, weekday afternoons) until 1979, when the papers were purchased by Worrell Newspapers Inc., which began publishing a merged edition, The News & Daily Advance, on weekends and holidays, with separate volume and edition numbers. In 1986, separate delivery of the News and Daily Advance was ended, replaced by a seven-day morning paper, The News & Daily Advance. In 1991, "Daily" was dropped from the name and the paper assumed its current title. In 1995, Worrell sold The News & Advance to Media General, which sold its entire newspaper division to Berkshire Hathaway in 2012.
