**Swift Communications Inc.** is an American [digital marketing](/source/Digital_marketing) and [newspaper](/source/Newspaper) publishing company based in [Carson City, Nevada](/source/Carson_City%2C_Nevada). Swift's primary markets are [resort town](/source/Resort_town) [tabloid](/source/Tabloid_(newspaper_format)) newspapers and websites as well as agricultural publications. The company was founded in 1975 by Philip E. Swift and acquired from estate by [Ogden Newspapers](/source/Ogden_Newspapers) in 2021.

## History

### Origins and growth

Swift Newspapers was founded by Philip E. Swift in 1975. Swift, a former executive at the [Scripps League of Newspapers](/source/Scripps_League_Newspapers%2C_Inc.), exchanged his equity interests in the company for ownership of two daily newspapers, *[The News-Review](/source/The_News-Review)* and *[Tahoe Daily Tribune](/source/Tahoe_Daily_Tribune)*.[1] Swift also took possession of the *[Sierra Sun](/source/Sierra_Sun)*.[2]

In January 1982, he merged his business with [Pioneer Newspapers](/source/Pioneer_News_Group) to form Swift-Pioneer Newspapers, Inc.[3] In October 1982, the *[Lander Journal](/source/Lander_Journal)*.[4] In May 1983, Scripps-Ifft Newspapers, Inc., owned by Nicholas Ifft, sold the *[Bozeman Chronicle](/source/Bozeman_Chronicle)*, *[Havre Daily News](/source/Havre_Daily_News)* and *[Idaho State Journal](/source/Idaho_State_Journal)* to Swift-Pioneer.[5][6] A few months later Swift-Pioneer also bought the *[Seaside Signal](/source/Seaside_Signal),* *[Tillamook Headlight-Herald](/source/Tillamook_Headlight-Herald)* and *[The News Guard](/source/The_News_Guard)* from Scripps-Ifft.[7] In 1988, Swift-Pioneer acquired the [*Record-Courier*](/source/Record-Courier_(Nevada)).[8]

Around 1990, Swift and Pioneer began operating separately, with Swift based in [Carson City, Nevada](/source/Carson_City%2C_Nevada) and Pioneer based in [Seattle, Washington](/source/Seattle%2C_Washington). Pioneer took the papers in Idaho, Montana, southern Oregon and Washington, while Swift took the rest. Swift acquired the *[Nevada Appeal](/source/Nevada_Appeal)* in 1995,[9] followed by the *[Aspen Times](/source/Aspen_Times)* and *Glenwood Springs Independent* in 1999.[10] A year later Swift bought several papers from [Morris Communications](/source/Morris_Communications), including the *Glenwood Springs Post,* *Rifle Citizen-Telegram*, *Valley Journal* of Carbondale, *Snowmass Village Sun* and *Eagle Valley Enterprise.* The *Post* and *Independent* were merged to form the *[Glenwood Springs Post Independent](/source/Glenwood_Springs_Post_Independent)*.[11]

Following the split with Pioneer, Swift took possession of Pacific Coast Newspapers, which published three papers on the Oregon coast. In February 2003, the subsidiary sold off the *[Seaside Signal](/source/Seaside_Signal),*[12] followed by *[Tillamook Headlight-Herald](/source/Tillamook_Headlight-Herald)* and *[The News Guard](/source/The_News_Guard).*[13] Swift then purchased the *Lahontan Valley News* and *Fallon Eagle Standard* in October 2003,[14] and *The Vail Trail* in February 2004.[15] The company was renamed to Swift Communications in 2006,[16] and acquired the *Fort Collins Weekly* in July 2007. The paper was renamed to *Fort Collins Now*.[17]

### Decline and sell off

Amid the [Great Recession](/source/Great_Recession), Swift closed the *Valley Journal* of [Carbondale](/source/Carbondale%2C_Colorado), Spanish-language publication *La Tribuna* of [Greeley](/source/Greeley%2C_Colorado) and the *Leadville Chronicle.* In late 2008, Colorado Mountain News Media, a subsidiary of Swift, reduced its staff by 20% over a two-month period through attrition, retirement and [layoffs](/source/Layoff).[18] The *Vail Trail* also closed.[19] Layoffs at Swift continued into 2009 with staff positions eliminated at the *Grand Junction Free Press,* *The Citizen Telegram*, *The Post Independent* and *The Aspen Times*.[20][21] In July 2009, *Fort Collins Now,* was closed.[22][23] In September 2009, P. William Toler was hired as CEO.[24]

In 2015, Swift purchased the *[Park Record](/source/Park_Record)*[25] sold *[The News-Review](/source/The_News-Review),[26]* and closed the *Grand Junction Free Press.*[27] In 2016, Swift acquired the *[Steamboat Pilot & Today](/source/Steamboat_Pilot_%26_Today)* and the *Craig Press*.[28][29] In July 2019. Swift Communication sold *[Nevada Appeal](/source/Nevada_Appeal)*, the *Lahontan Valley News*, *The Record-Courier* and *Northern Nevada Business View* to [Pacific Publishing Company](/source/Pacific_Publishing_Company).[30]

On November 27, 2019, company founder Philip E. Swift died.[31] On December 31, 2021, Swift Communications was acquired by [Ogden Newspapers](/source/Ogden_Newspapers), a [Wheeling, West Virginia](/source/Wheeling%2C_West_Virginia)-based publisher of daily and weekly newspapers, magazines, telephone directories, and shoppers guides throughout 18 states.[32] Company president Bob Brown then retired.[33]

Following the sale to Ogden, Swift sold the *Greeley Tribune* to [MediaNews Group](/source/MediaNews_Group) in 2020,[34] *[The Union](/source/The_Union_(newspaper))* to Gold Hill California Media in 2022,[35] and *[Park Record](/source/Park_Record)* to Tatiana and [Matthew Prince](/source/Matthew_Prince) in 2023.[36][37] The company closed the *Eagle Valley Enterprise* of [Eagle, Colorado](/source/Eagle%2C_Colorado), in 2025.[38]

## Controversies

Swift Communications has been noted for "being outside of the mainstream"[40] and "drawing national attention inside the industry"[41] for disabling commenting and implementing [paywalls](/source/Paywalls) on most of its online newspaper's websites.[40][42]

### Bob Berwyn firing

In November 2009 Bob Berwyn, a journalist for the *Summit Daily News,* wrote a column which criticized the marketing practices of Vail Resorts, one of the paper's largest advertisers. He was fired shortly after the writing the article. Berwyn claimed it was over his column, but the company claimed he was fired over “a series of events.” This firing was widely derided in the Colorado media.[43][44]

"It's unfortunate but, especially in this economy, some advertisers feel like they can flex their muscles when there's commentary that they don't like," says Ed Otte of the Colorado Press Association. "Newspapers need to withstand these kinds of threats."[45]

### Removal of user comments

In May, 2011 after gathering analytics, metrics and revenue data on their commenting platform investment, Swift reviewed the data and decided to remove the [user-generated content](/source/User-generated_content) (UGC) platform Pluck from all online newspapers owned by Swift Communications. The ability for readers to leave comments about articles was removed. Editors with Swift felt the inability of their [content management software](/source/Content_management_software) to restrict comments they did not approve of was impacting newsroom productivity and civil community conversation.[46][47][48]

Anthony Collebrusco from the *Digital News Test Kitchen* at [CU-Boulder](/source/University_of_Colorado_at_Boulder)'s School of Journalism & Mass Communication which is involved in researching a viable means of limiting the [pseudonymity](/source/Pseudonymity) and unconditional [free speech](/source/Free_speech) of commenters on Swift's websites paraphrased Swift's policy as:

"Executives at Swift concluded that resources should not be invested in comments — and therefore there is no rush to reinstate user comments — unless they can be made to generate revenue."[49]

In Fall of 2011, the *Aspen Times* re-enabled anonymous commenting for users with an active [Facebook](/source/Facebook) account.[41]

### Inflated ad rates

Swift Communications has been accused of stifling competition and setting artificially inflated ad rates by consolidating and closing small-town newspapers.[50] Steve Lipsher, former editor of the *Summit Daily News* said in 2008 that "If you're an advertiser in places like [Summit County](/source/Summit_County%2C_Colorado), they're the only game in town" [51] and in 2009, Swift-owned newspapers had 90% market share in [Eagle County](/source/Eagle_County%2C_Colorado).[20] Swift has also been criticized for over-charging for obituary listings.[52]
