JANESVILLE - Bliss Communications, Inc., publisher of The Janesville Gazette and parent company of The Monroe Times, announced Wednesday the sale of the Daily Globe newspaper, located in Ironwood, Mich., to a newspaper group based in Sheridan, Wyo.
The new operating company will be known as Daily Globe, Inc.
"The Globe has been an important part of Bliss Communications for 28 years, and we have enjoyed our relationship with the community and terrific employees of the newspaper," Bliss President Sidney H. Bliss said. "However, this was an opportunity for Bliss Communications to pass ownership of The Globe to people who truly care about continuing the publishing of a quality newspaper."
"The future of newspapers is small community newspapers," said Gary Stevenson, new co-owner of the Daily Globe. "Community newspapers are strong because they have commitment and service to the communities they cover, and integrity - something you will not find on national news channels or on the Internet."
Bliss said he believes the new owners will "continue the Globe's long-standing tradition of publishing a quality community newspaper that covers local and regional news and information."
