About The Verde Independent

The three-times weekly product is the primary news source for the Upper Verde region of the Verde Valley, covering the communities of Cottonwood, Clarkdale, Jerome, Verde Village, Cornville, Page Springs and Sedona.
The Bugle is a three-times weekly zoned edition of The Verde Independent, covering the communities of Camp Verde, Lake Montezuma, Rimrock and McGuireville.

The newspaper is now in its 17th year of publication and is regarded as the primary news source for the Lower Verde region of the Verde Valley.
