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

“The Slaves are Freed; Is the War Over” While the Civil War was still raging and the North and South were bitterly divided, Presi-dent Lincoln had looked for a way to connect East and West. His effort led to the act which led to Westward expansion, the Homestead Act in 1862. It appears he thought sending families to the West and founding new areas, bonded with the remaining states of the North, would ease the reconciliation with the South after the war. Then Lincoln turned back to matters at hand, the Emancipation Proclamation, the 13th Amendment, and sadly, his own assassination, which we discussed last week.
