The Havre Daily News was purchased by Scripps League Newspapers in 1963,[5] which spun off its newspapers to form Pioneer News Group in 1974.[6] The company sold the newspaper in 2005 to Robb Hicks, Gary Stevenson and Tom Mullen.[5] In 2011, Stacy Mantle succeeded Martin Cody as publisher of the Havre Daily News, and in 2021 sports editor George Ferguson took over as publisher.[7] In May 2024, the paper moved from daily to weekly publication and changed its name to the Havre Weekly Chronicle.[8]
