Mullen buys 3 South Dakota weeklies, shopper


The Mobridge Tribune, Potter County News in Gettysburg, the West River Eagle in Eagle Butte and Monday Reminder shopper have been sold to independent publisher J. Louis Mullen of Buffalo, Wyoming. Mullen bought the newspapers from long-time owners Larry and Roberta Atkinson of Mobridge.
The sale was effective March 29. The transaction also included the group’s web printing operation, Tribune Quick Print, and the advertising specialty sales operation, which are based in Mobridge. Julie Bergman of Grimes, McGovern & Associates represented the sellers.
“We wish Louis well in his new role as caretakers of our communities’ newspapers. As we have seen what his family has done over the years with the newspapers they publish, we feel confident our community newspapers are in good hands,” Larry Atkinson said.
Mullen owns seven other community weekly newspapers in various locales.
