Mohave County, Arizona
The Standard
Mohave County's countywide newspaper, published from Historic Downtown Kingman since 1991. The Standard is a property of Wanner Digital Media LLC.
History
A father-and-son paper
The Standard was founded in November 1991 by Don Wanner and his son Matt Wanner. It started as a 2,000-copy black-and-white weekly and grew into an 8,200-copy countywide newspaper with full-color sections.
In 1998 the business incorporated as Mohave County Newspapers, Inc., bought its property in downtown Kingman, and became the official newspaper of Mohave County. Readers have always known it as The Standard, and it still publishes under that name. Matt Wanner publishes it today as owner of Wanner Digital Media LLC, alongside managing editor Pam Wanner, from that same building on Beale Street.

The building
Same address since the start
The painted brick facade on Beale Street still carries the old NEWSPAPER, PUBLISHING, and PRINTING signage. The presses moved on; the newsroom did not.
Reach
Print, web, and mobile
The Standard reaches readers through the Wednesday print edition, its website, Facebook and X, and the Everything Kingman AZ app. The same newsroom feeds all of them, which is why Wanner Digital Media builds and runs the app itself rather than syndicating coverage to someone else's platform.
