Schurz buys Orange County Publishing

The Hoosier Times Inc. and Orange County Publishing have completed transactions for the Hoosier Times to acquire Orange County Publishing, said a press release from Hoosier Times’ parent company, Schurz Communications.
The Paoli News Republican, Springs Valley Herald and Orange Countian will continue to be printed at Hoosier Times print facilities.
All journalists from the Orange County team were retained and will continue to cover Orange County.
The Hoosier Times includes newspapers The Herald-Times in Bloomington, The Reporter-Times in Martinsville, The Mooresville-Decatur Times in Mooresville, The Times-Mail in Bedford, Spencer Evening World in Spencer, Clay City Times in Clay City and Ellettsville Journal in Ellettsville.
Orange County Publishing had been owned by Art Hampton since 1997. The newspapers’ histories date back to the first publication of The Paoli Republican in 1875 and the Springs Valley’s Herald’s founding in 1902.
“I am so very excited that we will be adding the community newspapers of Paoli and Springs Valley to the Schurz family of newspapers,” said Cory Bollinger, Schurz Communications vice president of publishing.
