Summit County, CO
The Summit Daily News, founded by Jim Pavelich in August 1989, came into being at a crossroads in the newspaper business. In the late 1980s, Selectric typewriters and linotype machines were giving way to rudimentary computers.
Staff still had to paste up the newspaper by cutting up the copy, running it through a wax machine and pasting it onto a flat piece of cardboard.
Then came the internet, which provided email and a wonderful new way to distribute news.
The Summit Daily began as a five-day-a-week paper, added a sixth issue in summer 1992 and then a seventh by December 1994, making it a true daily.
In 1994, the Summit Daily, along with its sister paper the Vail Daily, was purchased by Swift Communications and moved into what’s now The Peak School building. In 2022, Swift Communications was purchased by Ogden Newspapers. The paper moved into its current location in 2024.
The Summit Daily is now published six days a week with an average free distribution of 6,000 papers daily, serving the towns of Breckenridge, Frisco, Silverthorne, Dillon and Summit County’s four world-class ski areas.
