It's probably at least 5 years too late, if not 6 or 7, per what I wrote in 2019 about Southern's takeover, but at least it's out of Southern's least-common-denominator, story-number-counting, vulturous clutches.
Best of luck to the new owners, who, kind of like Ballantine Communications in the Colorado portion of the Four Corners, and now in New Mexico as well, began as a telecommunications company, then acquired the Durango and Cortez papers, then went into New Mexico for Farmington, are now entering the media biz themselves.
Hilliary had formed a media group within the company several years ago, and had already started a business-based paper in Lawton.
Southern? Per this Facebook post, even if you take it not just with one, but several, grains of salt, the Constitution had gone way downhill. I wonder if Hilliary was paying for much more than remaining subscriber and advertiser lists.
I don't know how new Wiki's circ numbers are, but what it lists is less than half of the 2018 numbers. Even with current newspaper decline rates, that's a bigger slump than normal. Perhaps it was "aided" by Hilliary's Southwest Ledger.
