History
editThe Advertiser News was first published in October 2003 by founder Jeff Bryant, his wife Karen Bryant, and sales specialist David Hancock. The business was sold to Las Vegas-based Stephens Media in 2005.[1]
On February 19, 2015, the company sold its newspapers to New Media Investment Group, a publicly traded company based in New York, for $102.5 million in cash. The deal closed in April 2015 and the papers from then on were managed by GateHouse Media.[2]
In April 2020, the paper's managing editor Chris Yow was laid off and his position at Gannet was eliminated.[3]
