We adhere to journalistic standards and do not receive compensation for any content presented here. Primary sources used in creating articles include verified eyewitness reports, government documents, and firsthand interviews with the subjects. Articles are written with links back to source material when available and have photographic support in most cases. The use of secondhand information requires two sources and is discouraged unless necessary. Corrections made to factual elements of the story will be noted at the end of each article. A strict disclosure policy is in effect for any potential conflict in objectivity an author may possess.

History of Montavilla News

Montavilla News existed as a printed news publication in years past. The original version of Montavilla News began around 1912 but went out of print some years later. By the 1950s, Montavilla News returned with a mailed circulation of 11,000. That version of our publication ceased printing as well. The current version of this organization has no direct ties to the previous owners. However, it is with great respect for past incarnations that we use the name Montavilla News.
