What Nevada News Group does

Eagle Valley Publishing, operating under the brand Nevada News Group, is a privately held community newspaper publishing company headquartered in Carson City, Nevada. Founded in 2025, the company operates as a local journalism platform that publishes news, information, and special projects across Northern Nevada through a portfolio of four wholly-owned regional newspaper titles: the Nevada Appeal (Carson City), The Record-Courier (Douglas County), Lahontan Valley News (Lahontan Valley), and Northern Nevada Business Weekly. All four titles were acquired in a single transaction in January 2025 by owner Adam Trumble. The company employs approximately 20 people and fields a team of award-winning journalists alongside a sales force dedicated to small business clients.

The business generates revenue almost entirely through advertising, with local sales professionals offering marketing and campaign services to small businesses across Northern Nevada. Distribution is anchored in print newspaper reach combined with direct sales outreach; the company does not disclose a proprietary technology stack, mobile application, or digital subscription product beyond the standard online publication of its print titles. No AI/ML capabilities, integrations, APIs, or technology partnerships are disclosed in the source material.

The customer base is bifurcated between Northern Nevada communities (consuming news content) and small businesses (purchasing advertising and marketing services). The company markets itself around community membership, government watchdog reporting, and local SMB support, with no disclosed pricing models, contracts, or revenue figures. Geographic scope is limited to the Northern Nevada region, with no claims of national or international footprint.
