The Anchorage Daily News is buying three weekly newspapers
in Alaska
The Daily
News is purchasing the Arctic Sounder, The Bristol Bay Times/Dutch Harbor
Fisherman and the Homer Tribune from Alaska Media. Terms of the deal were not
disclosed.
In 2017,
the Binkley Company purchased the Daily News after the company filed for
bankruptcy protection under then-owner Alice Rogoff. Married couple Jason Evans
and Kiana Peacock owned Alaska Media.
“Our family
is thrilled to add the Arctic Sounder, the Bristol BayTimes/Dutch Harbor
Fisherman and the Homer Tribune to the ADN’s lineup of publications,” ADN
President and CEO Ryan Binkley said in a statement.
Evans and
Hugh Short, chairman and CEO of Anchorage-based Pt Capital, were partners in
the purchase of the Daily News, and will stay on the company’s board, Binkley
said.
