The Mineral News and Tribune is an American newspaper published in Keyser, West Virginia. The News Tribune publishes four days a week: Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. It is the newspaper of record for "Mineral County and the Potomac Highlands",[3] in the Cumberland metropolitan area.

History

[edit]

It took its name after the 1928 merger of the Mineral Daily News and the Keyser Tribune.[4] The Daily News was founded in Keyser in 1912;[1] the other paper had begun as the West Virginia Tribune, published in New Creek, West Virginia, in 1870.[5] Gannett sold the newspaper in 2022 to NCWV Media.[6]
