The Pueblo Chieftain is an American daily newspaper published in Pueblo, Colorado. Subsidiary papers include Pueblo Events and The Pueblo West View.
History
The Chieftain was established in 1868 by Dr. Michael Beshoar, the first doctor in Trinidad, Colorado. Wilbur Fisk Stone and George A. Hinsdale were the first two editors.
In May 2018, the paper was sold to GateHouse Media.[2] In November 2019, New Media Investment Group, the successor to GateHouse Media, acquired newspaper publisher Gannett. The two companies merged and operate under the Gannett brand.[3]
In June 2023, Gannett announced that its printing plant in Pueblo would be shut down permanently in August. The company now contracts out its printing of the Chieftain to a company in Denver and ships the papers to Pueblo each day. Around 50 employees at the printing plant were laid off. The remaining journalists at the paper kept their jobs, but they do not have an office.[4]
In June 2024, the newspaper announced it will switch from carrier to postal delivery.[5]
