History

In Snyder, newspaper publishing began before 1887 with the Scurry County Citizen, published by A. C. Wilmeth, the first of eight different nameplates under thirty-nine owners. Coming West, founded by Dick Lively, began publication in 1887, followed by the News, Western Light, Signal, Times, and Times-Signal. These were county papers printed weekly, except for a period in 1911 when Signal was published daily. Snyder Daily News was founded by Harte-Hanks Newspapers on May 1, 1950, with Herbert Feather as publisher, and Feather Printing and Publishing Company acquired the News in 1957.
