About River City Newspapers

River City Newspapers is a partnership between Wick Communications and Western News & Info, based in Lake Havasu City since 1995. Its newspapers are small dailies and weeklies with big hearts and bigger aspirations, eager to tackle big stories and committed to being the strongest source of local news for our communities. Some of those stories have included a deeper look into the lack of workforce housing, ongoing coverage of the drought on the Colorado River, and persistent attention on an education system that doesn’t get the support it needs.

About our communities

Lake Havasu City is a resort town on the edge of the Colorado River and home of the London Bridge (which, despite what certain nursery rhymes may say, is definitely not falling down). Havasu is a community of about 60,000 people, home to a thriving tourism industry with a focus on spring breakers, summer boaters and winter snowbirds.

Kingman is the county seat for Mohave County, with deep history that stretches back to the Old West and the heyday of Route 66. Situated on two major highways midway between Las Vegas and Phoenix, Kingman is a popular tourist destination, gateway to the Grand Canyon and Northern Arizona's high country.

Bullhead City has a population of about 42,000 and is located on the Colorado River near the Davis Dam, just across from Laughlin, Nevada, a popular casino resort town.

If you’re the outdoors type, you’ll love Mohave County — recreation opportunities abound here, from watersports and fishing access on the lake to hiking and off-road adventures in the mountains and desert just minutes away. Las Vegas is the nearest metro, about 1 1/2 hours to the northwest, and Phoenix is a 3-hour drive in the other direction. We’re situated near Arizona’s border with California, so Los Angeles and other SoCal destinations are just hours away.
