History of The Altus Times
The modern Altus Times is printed bi-weekly -- Wednesday and Saturday -- and is dedicated to providing all local content and superior print and picture quality. The Altus Times has been named the 2017 Oklahoma Associated Press News Executive Division I third-place winner for General Excellence.
Altus Times was founded as a weekly newspaper by J. Ed Van Meter in December, 1901. It was consolidated with two other newspapers into the Weekly Altus Times-Democrat around 1916. It began daily publication in 1928. The newspaper was renamed the Altus Times on August 1, 1984.
The paper was previously owned by Heartland Publications. In 2012 Versa Capital Management merged Heartland, Ohio Community Media, former Freedom papers it had acquired, and Impressions Media into a new company, Civitas Media. Civitas Media sold its Oklahoma papers to Greystone Media Group in 2017.
