Not to be confused with E. W. Scripps Company.

Scripps League Newspapers, Inc. was a newspaper publishing company in the United States founded by Josephine Scripps in 1921 and managed beginning in 1931 by her son Ed Scripps (1909-1997).[1] Based in Herndon, Virginia, the chain was separate from the larger E. W. Scripps Company begun by Ed's grandfather, Edward Willis Scripps.[2]

The chain eventually grew to 51 small newspapers[1] including the The Daily Herald of Provo, Utah; The Napa Valley Register of Napa, Calif.; The Newport Daily Express of Newport, Vt., The Hanford Sentinel of Hanford, Calif., The Arizona Daily Sun of Flagstaff, Ariz.,[1] and Haverhill Gazette in Massachusetts.[3]

Pulitzer Publishing Company bought Scripps League for about $230 million in 1996.[3] In 2005, Lee Enterprises bought the Pulitzer newspaper division.[4]
