- The Vail Trail
- Founded by George Washington Knox, Sr. on 15 October 1965, The Vail Trail was Vail’s first newspaper. George Knox Sr., who was affectionately known as “The Skipper,” took care of all aspects of the newspaper’s business. In 1969, the family formally reorganized the family business. George Knox, Sr. was named President of the Knox Publishing Company, in addition to being the hands-on newspaper publisher and editor. Allen Knox served as Vice-President of the Knox Publishing Company, in addition to being the photographer and the advertising and business manager. Ella Knox was Secretary-Treasurer of the Knox Publishing Company, in addition to writing a column and being the circulation manager. When George Knox, Sr. passed away in 1975, Allen Knox took over the helm of The Vail Trail. Sharon Brown was the newspaper’s first employee outside of the Knox family. After the Skipper’s death, early managing editors included Bill McKeown, Mark Huffman and Allen Best. As The Trail’s longest-running employee, Joanne Morgan was responsible for many of the outstanding covers of The Vail Trail. Mike Rawlings was the longest-running in a line of excellent photographers. As noted by former Eagle Valley Enterprise editor, Kathy Heicher, David O. Williams, was “one of the best journalists in the valley” during his service at The Vail Trail. Spin-off publications included The Eagle Eye (1973 – 1975), edited by Sharon Brown, and The Daily Trail (21 June 1998 to 29 December 2000), edited by David O. Williams. A recurring theme in the Vail Valley Voices oral history of The Vail Trail is that the Knox family respected their journalists and always put editorial first. The Vail Trail was purchased by Colorado Mountain News Media and its parent company, Swift Communications, in February 2004. David O. Williams and Laura Chiapetta-Thompson were the last managing editors of The Vail Trail. In 2008, “Vail’s Greatest Newspaper Since 1965” closed its doors.

- Three Wire Winter
- In 1974, Bill McKelvie, Steamboat Springs High School US History teacher, was a member of the Steamboat Springs Centennial-Bicentennial Committee who wanted to capture the oral histories of Routt County citizens and publish them in a magazine in time for the celebration. Bill agreed to facilitate the project through his classes during the 1974/75 school year. A dozen students, primarily from ranching families, were allowed to work independently to interview their grandparents and write their stories, but after one year, it became clear that more structure and funding was needed if they were to produce a magazine in time for the Bicentennial. In the Spring of 1975, two writers secured a federal grant and one from Foxfire Magazine. George Sauer, Steamboat Springs Superintendent of Schools, approved the $5000 necessary to match the grant requirements and authorized a two-hour class, led by Bill and Tanna (Eck) Brock, Steamboat Springs High School English teacher, for the 1975/76 school year. The Foxfire grant not only provided much needed funding, but also offered extensive training. Before school started in the Fall of 1975, students and teachers who worked on the actual Foxfire Magazine traveled to and spent two weeks in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, teaching local high school students and teachers how to conduct and record oral history interviews, create transcripts, take and develop photographs, write articles, and finally publish a professional magazine. After much discussion over the future magazine’s name, Three Wire Winter, once proposed, was the obvious choice for Routt County, Colorado. The first issue went to press the winter of 1975/76 and for 12 years Three Wire Winter delighted readers by featuring the lives of Routt County's citizens. In all, 24 issues were published before this program ended. When the project came to an end in 1989, Bill McKelvie gifted all of the records to the Tread of Pioneers Museum and asked that they preserve the collection for future generations. After preserving the documents and digitizing the oral history recordings, the Tread of Pioneers Museum partnered with the Bud Werner Memorial Library in 2015 to take this historic archive to the next level. Three Wire Winter and its wealth of oral history interviews, magazine articles, photos and other documents are now searchable through the Routt County Digital Archive.
