The Los Alamos Daily Post is celebrating its 14th anniversary on Saturday, Feb. 7. It is our continued privilege to bring the latest news to our readers in Los Alamos, across the nation, and around the world every day of the year.

The news team is taking this opportunity to express our appreciation to our insightful columnists, citizen photographers and other contributors who add so much to the content we provide our readers.

The Post first launched at 8 a.m. Feb. 7, 2012, from my home in White Rock. We surpassed a million monthly pageviews in 2015 and were named the Official Newspaper of Record by Los Alamos County in 2017.

The Post began publishing its weekly print edition in 2015, delivering it to every home and business in Los Alamos and White Rock, and through strategically placed news racks throughout the community.
