Horizon Publications has acquired The Shelby Daily Globe
Inc., which includes The Shelby Daily Globe, the Willard Times-Junction, The
New London Record, Firelands Farmer and the Shopper's Helper, from Scott Gove
and the Stambaugh family, according to Randy Cope of Cribb, Greene & Cope,
who represented the families.
Horizon Publications owns community newspapers
across the U.S. , including
the Wapakoneta Daily News, The Evening Leader in St. Marys, and The Community
Post in Minster (all in Ohio ).
Members of the Gove family have been active in
the ownership of these newspapers for nearly 60 years and the Stambaugh family
traces its interest back to 1900 when the Daily Globe was founded.
"We appreciate Mr. Gove and the Stambaugh
family allowing us to continue the stewardship of these publications,"
said B.J. Riley, group publisher for Horizon Publications in Ohio
and Indiana .
"We appreciate the emphasis Horizon
places on community journalism and the important role newspapers play in the
areas they serve. For many years it has been our privilege and responsibility
to perform these functions in the Shelby ,
Willard and New London
areas," said Scott Gove.
