The Roanoke Times is the primary newspaper in Southwestern Virginia and is based in Roanoke, Virginia, United States. It is published by Berkshire Hathaway. In addition to its headquarters in Roanoke, it maintains a bureau in Christiansburg, covering the eastern New River Valley and Virginia Tech.
According to the 2011 Scarborough “Ranker Report,” The Roanoke Times ranks fifth in the country in terms of percentage of adults reading a newspaper on weekdays in that newspaper's coverage area.
The Roanoke Daily Times began publication in 1886. The paper's original owner, M. H. Claytor, eventually added a companion evening newspaper, The Roanoke Evening News. In 1909, he sold the paper to a group headed by banker J. B. Fishburn. The Fishburn group bought the Roanoke Evening World in 1913, merging it with the Evening News and changing its name to the Roanoke World-News. At the same time, Times-World Corporation was formed as the owner of both papers.
By 1931, Times-World Corporation had expanded into broadcasting with the purchase of WDBJ (now WFIR), Roanoke's first radio station. It eventually spawned an FM station (now WSLC) and a television station (which still has the WDBJ calls). In 1969, Times-World merged with Landmark Communications, which sold off the broadcasting properties and kept the papers. In 1991, the newspaper became known as The Roanoke Times & World-News when the company stopped publication of the afternoon World-News. The paper dropped the latter part of its name in 1995.
Major thanks to the awesome people at the Roanoke Times! They allowed us to tour the entire facility and ride every elevator. To make this experience even more epic, we had possibly the largest crowd in elevator photography history! Nick (Faxplane), TJ (TJElevatorFan), Jeff, Julie, Andrew (Dieselducy), and the Roanoke Times crew were along for the ride. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I did!

(May 2013, with Kyle and Dieselducy) STOP THE PRESS!!! Kyle the Photographer was nice enough to show Andrew and I the newspaper complex! We were also lucky enough to see tomorrow's paper being printed as well! We also filmed the elevators (of course!) but those videos will be uploaded later this summer.

(recorded 2-14-2013) This is a very nice elevator. A BIG thanks to the Times and I'm looking forward to more work on the story! I am not sure, is this submersible or dry power?

The Virginia Press Association 2008 awards were held in Roanoke, Va., March 15, 2008.
One of the places we went to on the morning we met up with Ralph & Joel from The Roanoke Times Newspaper. This is also a requested shout out to Riley Elevator Fan - thanks for watching my videos. #TJElevatorfan #TheElevatorChannel #elevaTOURS
(May 2013) Looks like the newspaper is stored here before it gets delivered to your house! Kyle was nice enough to show Dieselducy and I around the building (don't forget to watch my building tour, if you haven't already!) since he is writing a story about Andrew.

Well some kid got the lock down
'Cause he got flip with an officer
No you don't do that in this town
Unless you can bail yourself out
Some kids got the kick down
Fightin' straights from Fenway Park
But who was in the right now
And who still feels the scars?
Whoah, pick yourself up now, lets go
Now when we come to your town
Ain't no one gonna be a thug
But we're gonna have a lot of words now
So ya tough hoods listen up
I seen ya drinkin' down the river
I seen ya fightin' at the shows
I seen em crawl from every niche around
And then I've seen em go
These are the times
And I don't care how it happens
Things just gotta change
Are you in it for a lifetime
Are you giving back what you take
Is what I'm saying sinking in
Or is it just another wasted day
Theres one thing that they got that we ain't got
Its the long arm of the law
When the mace came out I clutched the ground
Then they kicked me up some more
