The Vedette Details
The Vedette has been covering Dade County communities and surrounding areas since 1866. The Vedette of today is successor to The Greenfield Vidette (Est. 1866), as well as The Dade County Advocate (Est. 1874), The Greenfield Advertiser (Est. 1954) and The Miller Press (Est. 1956)."The Greenfield Vidette" was established in August 1866 by John W. Murphy. Just two years later, the paper was sold to its employees, Mason Talbutt and John Griggs, with Talbutt taking full ownership not too long after. Talbutt sold the paper in 1870 to Charles W. Griffith, who would anglicize from the French form to the English "Vedette." It has retained that name since, and the Griffith family owned and operated The Vedette for over 70 years.The Dade County Advocate was founded by Talbutt in 1874, after he sold the Vedette, and The Advocate became The Vedette's in-county partisan political rival. The mostly cordial competitors finally merged in 1951 to form "The Greenfield Vedette and Dade County Advocate."The Greenfield Advertiser, long owned by James "Jim" and Hilda (McConnell) Wallace, provided competition to The Vedette-Advocate, but it eventually merged with The Vedette-Advocate in 1981. At that time, the trade name of the publication was shortened to The Vedette.In 1983, The Miller Press came under common ownership with the Vedette, and the two staffs were slowly combined and some content shared. The Press had been owned by Kenneth and Flavia Friar, who remained in the printing business for some years after selling the newspaper. The decision to fold The Press into The Vedette was made by a previous ownership group, occurring with the first edition of The Vedette in 2001.Today, The Vedette provides news and information in print and online (and via The Lake Stockton Shopper) to Dade and northern Lawrence counties, and surrounding areas, as a part of Lewis County Press, LLC, a growing company focused on providing quality news coverage to rural America.
