The Sandy Post is a weekly newspaper in Oregon serving Sandy, the Villages at Mount Hood and the surrounding areas. It is owned by Pamplin Media Group.

History

The paper was founded in 1937. Walter C. Taylor Jr. bought the Sandy Post, along with the nearby Gresham Outlook and several other Oregon papers, in the early 1960s. Taylor and Lee Irwin sold the newspaper in 1977 to the Democrat-Herald Publishing Co., which published the Albany Democrat-Herald. Capital Cities purchased the company in 1980, which itself was acquired by The Walt Disney Company in 1995. Disney sold its Oregon newspapers to Lee Enterprises in 1997. Three years later Robert B. Pamplin, Jr. acquired the Post from Lee Enterprises in 2000. In 2024, the Estacada News was absorbed into the Post.

Awards

In 2019 the Post won the General Excellence award for weekly newspapers from the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association.
