History
This newspaper, along with Adirondack Daily Enterprise, was purchased by William M. Doolittle Jr. in 1970.[1] Other newspapers,[4][5] including The New York Times, cite some of their stories.[6][7] It also covers Lake Placid, New York.[8][9]
In 1977, The New York Times used the phrase "vigorous criticism" to describe opposition by Lake Placid News to "total disregard for the safety of the people who hike the state's trails."[10] The Times noted their reporting about what a local association called "a desecration" of "the only site in the state that has anything to do with the Civil War."[11]
In 2026, Ogden Newspapers sold the Enterprise and the News to John DeAugustine, owner of The Daily Gazette.[12]
