DUNWOODY, Ga. (AP) - A family-owned media group that owns several local newspapers around Atlanta is set to buy a decades-old Dunwoody newspaper that has struggled with shrinking revenues and staff.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Appen Media Group announced over the weekend that it plans to buy The Crier. Details of the sale haven’t been disclosed.
The Crier publisher and editor Dick Williams announced early this month that the newspaper’s print edition was ending. He said then that he hoped the newspaper would continue to serve the area online. The media group says it plans to revive the print edition.
The media group owns four weekly newspapers in North Fulton and Forsyth counties. General manager Hans Appen says The Crier is the company’s first newspaper purchase. It’s unclear when the sale will be finalized.
