The Paper
Founded: The Aberdeen News was founded as a weekly in 1885 by C.W. Starling and Paul Ware. Soon after, the Ordway Tribune, which had a power press, was moved to Aberdeen and combined with the News to produce a daily. In 1920, a competitor, the Aberdeen American, bought the News, and both were later purchased by the Aberdeen Journal. The Ridder family purchased the papers in 1928. The newspaper became the American News in 2004.
Circulation: 16,046 daily; 17,844 Sunday
Publication Days: Monday-Sunday.
The Market: Aberdeen is three hours from Fargo, N.D., and Sioux Falls, S.D., and about five hours from Minneapolis-St. Paul. The market area, known as the Dakota Midland, is based primarily on agriculture. Hundreds of family-owned farms and small communities dot the Northern Plains. Aberdeen is the largest community within a 150-mile radius.
