The Vidette Times is a local newspaper in Porter County, Indiana.
In 1871, a rival, The Valparaiso Democratic Messenger emerged.
In the 1920s, The Vidette and The Messenger merged to form The Vidette-Messenger.
In 1994, Howard Publications purchased The Vidette-Messenger, renamed it The Vidette Times in 1995, and attempted unsuccessfully to give it more regional content, but eventually returned it to a local focus.
