The Mountain Statesman
Media · News · United States
The Mountain Statesman is a thrice-weekly newspaper serving the Grafton, West Virginia area. Its 2016 circulation was 1,710.
In 1946, at the age of just 20, Eldora Nuzum became editor of the Sentinel. At the time of her death, multiple local sources identified her as the first female editor of a daily newspaper in West Virginia.[9]
In the 1960s, the paper (and one of its reporters) were known for the Grafton Monster sighting.
In 1975 the Sentinel ceased its daily publication schedule, changed its name to the Mountain Statesman, and moved to the three times a week schedule it uses today.
It is owned by News Media Corporation, which bought the paper in the early 1970s.
