Nevada Appeal
580 Mallory Way
Carson City, Nev., 89702-2288
(775) 882-2111
• Name and location:
Nevada Appeal
Carson City, Nevada
• When was it founded and by whom?
The Nevada Appeal, the Silver State’s oldest daily newspaper, came into existence on May 16, 1865, under the ownership of local businessmen E.F. McElwin, J. Barrett, and Marshall Robinson, with editor Harry Mighels coming aboard a few days later.
• What the ownership has been?
Named the Carson Daily Appeal, it had about 30 competitors over the next 100 years, some of which lasted for merely a few days while others managed to stay in business for a number of years. By 1868, Mighels had bought out the others, then sold his interests to C.L. Perkins and H.S. Street in 1870. In February, 1872, the paper was sold to John Boothe, a veteran newsman of Unionville, Virginia City, and Gold Hill. In September of 1872 Mighels bought it back, staying in his family until 1945. W.L. Davis owned it until 1947, then sold to Arthur Suverkrup who changed the name to the Nevada Appeal. It was bought by Donrey Media in 1951, sold to an investor group in 1993, then to Swift in 1995.
• When did it become part of Swift Newspapers?
June 1995
• Any history as to the frequency of publications?
We added the 7th day, Saturday
• Today’s publication schedule and circulation figures:
Morning, seven days a week. About 16,000 circulation; 21,000 on Sundays
• Number of full-time and part-time employees:
Difficult to calculate due to the number of people who hold dual roles with the Nevada Appeal and Tahoe-Carson Area Newspapers. About 150 of us work at Mallory Way.
• Total region served and anything of special interest about the area:
Carson City history is linked to the famous Comstock Lode, the richest gold and silver mines in the history of the west. Carson City also sprang up as the end point of a huge log flume that carried logs from the Tahoe basin to the sawmills of the valley. Biggest private employer: Harley Davidson.
• Anything of special interest about the newspaper?
The view from our windows extends north to the silver dome of the state capitol building and south/west to the majestic Sierra Nevada range. The Appeal is the longest continuously operating business in Carson City. The newspaper celebrated its 140th anniversary in 2005.
• Awards:
The Nevada Appeal has received numerous awards from the Nevada Press Association, Associated Press and Swift Communications for its coverage of the Carson City area.
