Vermont newspaperman and Republican politician, [[Frank E. Howe]], bought two [[Bennington, Vermont]], weeklies in 1902 and merged them to form the daily ''Bennington Banner'', of which he was publisher and editor.
Around 1960–1961, the ''Bennington Banner'' was purchased by Lawrence Miller and his brother Donald, the sons of [[Kelton B. Miller]], a politician and newspaperman in nearby [[Pittsfield, Massachusetts]]. Kelton's grandson, also named Kelton Miller, served as publisher of the ''Banner'' from 1977 until 1995, at which point it was purchased by ''MediaNews Group.''<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=About Us|url=https://www.benningtonbanner.com/site/about.html|access-date=2021-01-16|website=Bennington Banner|language=en}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web|agency=Associated Press|title=Former Bennington Banner publisher dies|url=https://www.rutlandherald.com/news/former-bennington-banner-publisher-dies/article_025e310f-c4ed-5cbc-ac88-486d3562b2d2.html|access-date=2021-01-16|website=Rutland Herald|date=12 May 2007 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Ap|date=1991-04-02|title=Lawrence K.
