Salado Village Voice returns to its roots this week as the 34-year-old newspaper unveils a new broadsheet standard.
“The newspaper started out in 1979 as a broadsheet in the style of the old newspapers of the 19th century,” Editor-in-Chief Tim Fleischer said. “Dayton Kelley modeled his Salado Village Voice around the old broadsheets like the New York Times with straight columns and lots of type.”
While the Salado Village Voice is not the first newspaper in Salado, it has had the longest life-span, since being founded in 1979. The Fleischer family bought the newspaper in 1988, marking 25 years in Salado next spring.
When historian Dayton Kelley published the first edition of the Salado Village Voice on February 17, 1979, it was the first time in more than 100 years that the village had a newspaper.
Salado Village Voice is published every Thursday.
