The Newberg Graphic is the weekly newspaper of Newberg, Oregon, United States. HistoryThe Newberg Graphic was founded in 1888 by Hiatt & Hobson as an independent four-page weekly newspaper published on Saturdays, and sold at $2.[3] Frank P.

The paper reported 450 subscribers in 1903, which Woodward grew to 950.[3] Woodward owned the Graphic for about 21 years until he sold it to W. J. Nottage and Chester A. Dimond in 1921.[5] Fifteen years later Nottage sold his interests in the business to James A. Dement in 1936.[6] The paper was sold to King Cady later that year.[3] In 1959, Rob McCain joined Paul Dent as a business partner in the Graphic.[7] In 1966, a thief pried off the rear window of the Graphic's office and stole 300 blank checks.[8] Rob and Donna McCain owned the newspaper for 25 years until selling it to Eagle Newspapers in January 1985.[9] The company sold the paper to Pamplin Media Group in January 2013.[10][11] Robert B. Pamplin Jr. sold his newspaper company in June 2024 to Carpenter Media Group.[12] See alsoReferences
