Lake Placid News[1][2] is a weekly community newspaper[3] focused on Lake Placid, New York.

History

This newspaper, along with Adirondack Daily Enterprise, was purchased by William M. Doolittle Jr. in 1970.[1] Other newspapers,[4][5] including The New York Times, cite some of their stories.[6][7] It also covers Lake Placid, New York.[8][9]

In 1977, The New York Times used the phrase "vigorous criticism" to describe opposition by Lake Placid News to "total disregard for the safety of the people who hike the state's trails."[10] The Times noted their reporting about what a local association called "a desecration" of "the only site in the state that has anything to do with the Civil War."[11]

In 2026, Ogden Newspapers sold the Enterprise and the News to John DeAugustine, owner of The Daily Gazette.[12]

Newspaper family

Lake Placid News is part of the Ogden Newspapers family; Ogden[13] is owned by The Nutting Company.[14]
