History

C. P. Sonnichsen and Hugh G. Ball bought the News in 1908. Sonnichsen assumed the role of manager and Ball as editor. By 1912 the newspaper had 1,500 subscribers and transitioned from weekly to semiweekly.[3]

During his career, Ball headed the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association and was on the board of directors for the National Editorial Association.[4] The Hood River News, along with The Dalles Chronicle and White Salmon Enterprise, ceased publication on March 31, 2020. They were replaced by the combined Columbia Gorge News on April 8.[5]
