Nevada Central Media (NVC Media) announced today a strategic evolution from a digital services consultancy into a dedicated news publishing firm. Following the acquisition of the Lincoln County Record in 2020, NVC Media has expanded its network to include three additional publications: The Ely Times, The Eureka Sentinel, and the Mesa Valleys Progress.
With this expansion, NVC Media solidifies its commitment to preserving the legacy of local news in the Silver State while modernizing the delivery of community journalism.
“The last few years have provided us an exciting opportunity to expand local news coverage in Nevada,” said Ben Rowley, Founder of NVC Media. “I’m eager to build on the legacy of these newspapers and ensure they continue the important work of community journalism.”
The NVC Media portfolio now represents a significant portion of rural Nevada’s news landscape:
- Lincoln County Record: Founded in 1870, this is the newspaper of record for Lincoln County, covering Pioche, Caliente, Panaca, and Alamo.
- The Ely Times: Established in 1920, this publication serves as the independent voice for White Pine County, delivering reporting on government and business to Ely and surrounding rural areas.
- The Eureka Sentinel: Also established in 1870, this historic paper covers Eureka County.
- Mesa Valleys Progress: Serving northeastern Clark County since 1987, this weekly newspaper provides hyper-local coverage for the Moapa and Virgin Valleys, including Mesquite and Overton.
Strategic Partnership
To dedicate full resources to its growing publishing division, NVC Media has transferred its web design client roster to Sage Digital Agency, a Henderson-based firm offering a full suite of digital services. Moving forward, NVC Media will partner with Sage for both internal and client web development needs, ensuring a high-quality digital experience for readers and advertisers.
“I’m very pleased to work with Alex Jariv and his team at Sage to serve a wonderful group of clients,” Rowley said. “It has been an honor to serve these businesses over the years, and I am delighted to connect them with top-quality service moving forward. I also anticipate new opportunities to work with Sage on improving the user experience for our digital readers.”
