Who We Are

Journalism has been in the veins of Adam Trumble since childhood. Trumble, an only child, was known to provide commentary and statistics from his imaginary childhood baseball games. His passion for the written word remains today as Trumble, editor of the Nevada Appeal since 2015, has founded Eagle Valley Publishing. 

Eagle Valley Publishing acquired from Pacific Publishing Company the Nevada Appeal, The Record-Courier, the Lahontan Valley News and Northern Nevada Business Weekly on Jan. 1, 2025. Nevada News Group, a division of Eagle Valley Publishing, will operate the publications and its entities. 

The community news publications, which have been in circulation for more than 470 years combined, were owned by Pacific Publishing Company since 2019. 

The Carson City-based Nevada Appeal will celebrate its 160th year in 2025. It was started as The Carson Daily Appeal, which was first published on May 16, 1865. It was founded by E.F. McElwain, J. Barrett and Marshall Robinson. 

The Record-Courier (Gardnerville, Nev.) was born in April 1904 when crosstown rivals The Courier and the Gardnerville Record merged after the Record burned down. The Record was founded in 1898. The Courier was founded in 1875 as the Carson Valley News in Genoa and renamed after it was purchased in 1880. The Lahontan Valley News (Fallon, Nev.) was founded in 1903 by Burt Hanson. 

The Northern Nevada Business Weekly published its first edition on Aug. 5, 2002. Combined, the publications have been in business for nearly 450 years. 

The publications of the Nevada News Group won more than 60 awards during the 2024 Nevada Press Association contest. 

Trumble has lived in the Carson City area since 2007 when he started working for the Nevada Appeal. He is a 2005 graduate of Central Michigan University with a degree in journalism.
