History
The newspaper was part of the Brown Publishing Company chain that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on April 30, 2010;[1] its Ohio assets, including 14 daily newspapers and about 30 weeklies, were transferred to a new business, Ohio Community Media, which was purchased in May 2011 by Philadelphia-based Versa Capital Management.[2]
In 2012, Versa merged Ohio Community Media, former Freedom papers it had acquired, Impressions Media, and Heartland Publications into a new company, Civitas Media.[3] In 2017, Civitas Media sold its Ohio papers to AIM Media Midwest, an affiliate of AIM Media Texas.[4] In August 2026, the paper was sold to HD Media.[5]
