New buyer promises to improve Minnesota newspapers that previous owner 'stripped'

A group of rural Minnesota newspapers that have been "stripped" by corporate owners in recent years has been bought by a New Jersey-based company that's making a big move into Minnesota.

CherryRoad Media bought seven newspapers from Gannett, the nation's largest newspaper chain. The seven previously were owned by GateHouse Media, another large chain, which merged with Gannett in 2019 and adopted the Gannett name. The deal takes effect Jan. 1. The purchase price has not been revealed.

The papers sold by Gannett are: the Granite Falls Advocate Tribune, the Montevideo American-News, the Redwood Falls Gazette, the Crookston Times, the Sleepy Eye Herald-Dispatch, the St. James Plaindealer and the Tri-County News in Cottonwood.
