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.

Brighten the corner where you are

When you read or listen to the news, do you ever get the feeling that we should all just don capes and decoder rings and hit the streets defending our communities from injustice, inequity, and all that ails humanity?

Choose your ancestors carefully

Proverbs 22: 6 “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”We can choose our friends but we cannot choose our ancestors.
