The Shelburne News is an American newspaper serving the town of Shelburne, Vermont. The paper has a circulation of 4,500-5,000.[2][3] It is a free, weekly paper mailed for free to residents and businesses in Shelburne and distributed on racks in parts of the town.[3] The paper is owned by the Vermont Community Newspaper Group.
History
The paper was first published in 1967.[2] It originated out of conversations among the members of Shelburne’s League of Women Voters about the need to distribute information about who was running for office. A group of women led by Roz Graham took what was originally a newsletter and turned it into a paper.[4]
In 2017, Holly Johnson sold the Shelburne News to Bob Miller and Norb Garrett, owners of the Stowe Reporter, Waterbury Record, News & Citizen, and the Citizen.[5] In January 2019, the owners renamed the company to Vermont Community Newspaper Group.[6]
