Gannett no more
Don Day | August 29, 2005
The Idaho Statesman is now the property of Knight-Ridder. The flip happened at 11:59pm MT. The US DOJ approved the deal Sunday… apparently (the AP copy isn’t heavy on detail).
Knight-Ridder also picked up the Olympian and Bellingham Herald.
As of this writing, IdahoStateman.com still sports the Gannett logos. As a last hurrah – the Gannett foundation doled out more than $30,000 in grants to local organizations.
Update: Gannett logos gone — RealCities (K-R’s online initiative) logo in place.
I never have been a big Gannett/Statesman fan, but this list of donations is impressive. Hopefully K-R will be as responsive to the community.
DONT YOU PEOPLE SEE WHATS HAPPENING. ITS THE TRILATERAL COMMISSION FIRST THEY BOUGHT CITADEL AND THE RED LOBSTER
DO YOU EVER WONDER ABOUT THAT BEING A COINCIDENCE?
NOW THE STATESMAN COMES UNDER THERE CONTROL ON THE VERY DAY THAT BOISE CITY WORKS IS CLEANING STREETS IN THE VISTA AREA.
FOOLS! DO I HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU! FOOLS. YOUR ALL DOOMED.
