Logan Banner

''The Logan Banner'', originally named the Logan County Banner, is a newspaper in Logan, West Virginia owned by HD Media, LLC, parent company of ''The Herald-Dispatch'' in Huntington. Circulation is limited to Logan County and surrounding areas.

The newspaper was founded in 1889, by Henry Clay Ragland, a veteran of the Confederate army, as a weekly paper. Over the years, it has had different publication schedules. In 1935, it became a Monday-Friday afternoon paper. In 1981 it adopted an unusual schedule of publishing Tuesday-Friday afternoons and Sunday mornings. In September 2018, under the ownership of HD Media, the paper was reduced to a tri-weekly schedule of publishing Sunday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. In July 2019, the publication schedule was once again reduced to a weekly. HD Media also adopted the same weekly schedule for the Banner's sister paper, the Williamson Daily News.

It was previously owned by Heartland Publications. In 2012 Versa Capital Management merged Heartland Publications, Ohio Community Media, the former Freedom papers it had acquired, and Impressions Media into a new company, Civitas Media. In 2017, Civitas sold its West Virginia properties to HD Media. Provided by Wikipedia
