The Review well deserves the rich success its breezy little pages give evidence of.In 1905, W. N. Carter bought an interest in the paper from Crome.
[7] The weekly newspaper was purchased by Milo Johnson and Don Van Deusen in 1973 after spotting a "for sale" ad in The Oregonian.

In June 2024, the St. Johns Review went on hiatus after Colvin was arrested in Alabama for threatening over the phone to rape a 77-year-old woman who worked as a church receptionist.
