Background
The Anderson Valley Advertiser (AVA) was established in 1956 by Elizabeth and Steven Malgrem as a small community newspaper in Boonville, California, in Mendocino County. The newspaper originally served only the Anderson Valley and surrounding communities but has since reached national circulation. Bruce Anderson, who is not related to the namesake of the Anderson Valley, bought the newspaper in 1983 in an effort to establish a publication that featured not only local news but national political news as well.
