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.

I’ve been hunting in the West for a long time: Montana, Colorado, Nebraska, and in both North and South Dakota. In all of these states, mountain lions are common.

We need your help

This summer, when the Crookston Times editor resigned, I was brought in to help with the transition. My first impression of the paper was that it was amazing. I loved the news coverage, the sports reporting and the overall design. I loved my first visit to Crookston. It’s a beautiful town with an amazing downtown area. It seemed like a hidden gem in Minnesota.
