The Standard began in November of 1990 by Don and Matthew Wanner. The father and son team grew the 2,000 copy, black-and-white newspaper into its current four-color, multi-section, 8,200 copy countywide newspaper. In 1998, The Standard incorporated under the name of Mohave County Newspapers, Inc., and purchased property in downtown Kingman. In July of 1998 The Standard became the official newspaper of Mohave County. The Standard is proud to be investing in the future of Mohave County. The Standard is preparing to meet the growth of the county as well as the growth of the newspaper itself. Currently The Standard is available for sale at more than 317 locations throughout the county.
