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.

Education and American Democracy

World You Asked For!” Suddenly, with the “canal to the world” built and various sectors of the American economy and government eager to venture out into “the rest of the world”, who could have anticipated what all that might entail? Likewise, bearing in mind that the American citizenry was made up by individuals and descendants who came here from all over the “outer” world, is it surprising that the United States might encounter resistance to an international venture that met resistance at home, as well as abroad? Get ready world, here we come! As complex as the American citizenry was in the first 15 years the 20th Century, it was more than matched by the complex network of alliances and disparate segments of hatred that marked Europe at that time. It took one event to burst the bubble and send those segments in all directions.

IS IT ALL TEMPORARY?

Ecclesiastes 1: 2-4 “Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. What profit hath a man of all his labor which he taketh under the sun? One generation passes away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abided forever.”
