Hi-Desert Star

The Hi-Desert Star is a newspaper published and distributed in Yucca Valley, Morongo Valley, and Pioneertown, located within the southern Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County, California.

History
The newspaper was first published in April 1957 with backing from the Yucca Valley Chamber of Commerce, and initially called The Desert Star. However, the name was changed four months later after it was discovered that there was already a Desert Star newspaper that had been published in nearby Needles, California for the previous 40 years. Ironically, the paper was later sold to the owners of the Desert Star.

In September 2022, Hi-Desert Star and nine other newspapers owned by Brehm Communications, Inc. were sold to Gold Mountain California News Media Inc.

Other publications
The Hi-Desert Star also publishes:
 * The Desert Trail, Twentynine Palms
 * Desert Entertainer
 * Desert Mobile Home News

Hi-Desert Publishing's Mountain Division also publishes the Mountain News in Lake Arrowhead and the Big Bear Grizzly in Big Bear Lake.
