Vidette Times

Vidette Times

The Vidette Times is a local newspaper in Porter County, Indiana. It began in 1842 as an occasional, "the Republican". In 1866 it came under new ownership as "the Porter County Vidette". In 1871, a rival, "the Valparaiso Democratic Messenger" emerged. In the 1920s, "the Vidette" and "the Messenger" merged to form "the Vidette-Messenger". In 1994, Howard Publications purchased "the Vidette-Messenger", renamed it “"the Vidette Times"” in 1995, and attempted unsuccessfully to give it more regional content, but eventually returned it to a local focus.
