History
The Clovis Roundup was born by accidental necessity. With the old Clovis Independent changing ownership and eventually dying in 2007, a need arose for a dedicated Clovis news source. Along came Veteran Marine Kenny Melchor and his wife Donna, both with backgrounds in print advertising and a lifelong love of our city. They took a chance that people in Clovis and the surrounding mountain communities would embrace a fresh outlook on news. Just like that, a husband and wife news team was born. Kenny sells the vision and Donna manages the layout. Both having family roots in our valley, it seemed a natural fit. The Melchor's believe a paper should be free for all to read and at the same time keeping advertising rates well below market costs. This allows small businesses to compete in a corporate world. In a time when small town newspapers are becoming extinct, the Clovis Roundup is beating the odds, she's growing every issue thanks to local business and public support. Donna Melchor ha
