To The Crookston Times readers,

It is with regret that CherryRoad Media announces the closing of The Crookston Times

Our company is dedicated to the preservation of community journalism. Since the purchase of our 1st paper in late-2020 to today, we have prided ourselves on our ability to fight the difficult battle that newspapers face in today’s digital society. Unfortunately, that battle cannot always be won.

The Crookston Times has struggled in recent years to find its footing in this community. Since purchasing The Crookston Times, CherryRoad Media has been unable to avoid financial losses every month. The paper was losing money when we bought it, and it continued to do so. We must now come to terms with the fact that we do not have a path forward to sustainability.

And we thank those who have supported us.

They are Carol Solheim of Crookston and Dan Wilkens of Fertile. She is an integral volunteer at the Polk County Historical Society Museum in Crookston. Wilkens, who is the mayor of Fertile, does not accept a salary for himself. Instead it goes to the city. He is also a long time member of the Agassiz Environmental Learning Center board. Carol Solheim is 83 and Dan Wilkens is 79. They are honored for their community service after the age of 65.
