Welcome to the Sedona Times Publishing Newspaper and its SedonaEye.com web site!

Founded in 2005 by Rita Livingston as publisher with the editorial and reporting pen of Tommy Acosta, local musician and writer, the Sedona Verde Valley Times began publishing approximately every six to eight weeks. In 2008, Livingston changed the name of the newspaper to Sedona Times after paying $200 to the Trade name’s owner of record in the hopes that the focus of the newspaper be more Sedona-centered. At that time, Livingston published an opinion that the newspaper editorials become less political and more inclusive. In January 2010, Acosta accepted a paid contributing writer offer with a Sedona business newsletter, and soon thereafter announced his resignation as one of the unpaid editors with the Sedona Times.

During its four year run as the Sedona-Verde Valley Times and the Sedona Times, Livingston solicited and networked local talent and businesses for each edition to procure advertising, writing, and editing help. Faced with failing health, financial difficulties, and no money to go to press, and after months of an extensive search to find an offer to take-over and or purchase the Sedona Times newspaper (it had no assets only outstanding liabilities), in April 2010, 80 year old Livingston announced her personal retirement and the newspaper sale at the Celebration of Sedona 2010 event (see Vongsputh video), and introduced C. Bentley Hill as the new owner-publisher of the Sedona Times newspaper. At the Celebration of Sedona 2010, a city-wide event attended by the City Council and elected government officials and over 200 paying guests at Los Abrigados Resort and Spa Creekside, Livingston expressed satisfaction that during a 4 1/2 year attempt to establish a local news outlet, she was pleased that Hill had given Sedona and the Sedona Times another opportunity to prove it could sustain the alternative news source.

Hill was immediately joined by Eddie Maddock as an Editorial Assistant and front page writers Mel Copen, Robert S. Wood, Joni Dahlstrom, Eddie S. Maddock, and Brent Maupin, and a new team of writers who signed-on for a May 6 2010 newspaper edition, the first completely under the direction and funding of Hill and business partner, Gregory David Stern.
