WORLAND — The Northern Wyoming Daily News has seen plenty of changes in the past 79 years and in year 80 another big change is coming. The Northern Wyoming Daily News will become the Northern Wyoming News, dropping daily from its name as it becomes a weekly newspaper.

Starting Feb. 1, 2019, the name and the frequency of the paper will change with publication on Thursday. Robb Hicks of Grand Teton News, the company that owns the Northern W...
WORLAND – In 1988 the residents of Worland experienced an once-in-a-lifetime event that rarely, if ever occurs in rural Wyoming, a national figure taking the time to not only visit but to sit down and enjoy a meal alongside community members. Then Vice President George H. W. Bush visited Worland on January 26, 1988, served a chili lunch at the Elks Club and spoke to attendees. “The thing that impressed us was, he came to a small rural community,” Worland resident Fran Scranton said. “It is nice to say that this great president, who was very qui...

It's safe to say everyone is caught up on Kareem Hunt fiasco. The news broke about Hunt last Friday while I was writing last week's column, and I thought about scrapping that column to write about Hunt. Obviously I didn't, and I decided to wait because other than the video there wasn't a lot of information out. That and I was like 80 percent finished with last week's column. But now that a week has past and we've been able to digest all the new info, I have a few thoughts. You'd think after the...
Change. It's a word that can bring terror to many, to others it is as welcome as a warm sunny day in mid December. On February 1, 2019 the Northern Wyoming Daily News will begin publishing weekly. We ask our readers to stand by us through this change and give this new product a chance. Since I started in 2015 we've been slowly transitioning to more and more local news and this change next year makes that transition complete. Most of my journalism career has been spent working on weeklies. They...
