The Milton Independent is a free weekly newspaper that is a part of O'Rourke Media Group. It covers news in the town of Milton in Chittenden County, Vermont, United States.
History
[edit]The Independent was founded in 1993 by Lynn Delaney after she left Milton Matters along with 16 others in December 1992, when the Milton town leadership expressed a desire to review articles before they were published.[1] She had been contacted by Emerson Lynn about starting a new publication, and put out the first edition of the paper on February 18, 1993.[1] Delaney remained as editor of the Independent until her retirement in 2010.[1]
In January 2021, the paper ceased its weekly print publication and moved to only publish online.[2] In August 2024, the newspaper announced it will resume print, this time monthly.[3]
Circulation
[edit]The Milton Independent started with a circulation of around 4,200, which had increased to 6,300 by 2018.[4][5]
