O'Brien County selected The N'West Iowa Review and The Sheldon Mail-Sun to serve as its two official newspapers for 2026. The county record shows the newspapers submitted requests to be named the official papers, and the Board approved both nominations on a motion by Supervisor Friedrichsen, seconded by Supervisor Rohwer; the minutes state the motion "carried by all ayes."

The minutes do not list any opposition or alternative candidates and do not specify contract terms or publication responsibilities beyond the statutory requirement to name two official papers.
