The Homer News is a weekly newspaper published in Homer, Alaska since 1964.
History
The newspaper began circulation in January 1964. Founders Hall and Marion Thorn had moved a few years earlier to Homer, where Hal's parents were longtime residents. In the Thorns' hands, the Homer News was a product of the battle over incorporation. Its own motto, "Aims for Progress," reflected the views of those who saw incorporation as a step into the modern age.
Homer News switched its name to Homer Weekly News from 1973 to 1976 and back to Homer News on 1976.[2]
in 2000, Morris Communications acquired the Homer News. In 2017, Morris sold its newspapers to GateHouse Media.[3] In 2018, GateHouse sold its Alaska papers to Sound Publications.[4] In October 2024, the newspaper sold its office building.[5]
