An apparent plan by Gannett to shutter The Landmark, of Holden, Massachusetts and three other local newspapers has been cancelled.
The paper is being acquired, along with The Leominster Champion, The Millbury-Sutton Chronicle and The Grafton News, by CherryRoad Media in a deal that should close this week.
“When we heard about the potential closure of The Landmark, The Grafton News, the Millbury-Sutton Chronicle, and the Leominster Champion, we reached out to Gannett to see if they could be saved,” said Jeremy Gulban, CEO of CherryRoad Technologies and CherryRoad Media.
Gulban adds, “We are excited to engage with Gannett to enable the continued operations of these newspapers as part of CherryRoad’s growing family of community newspapers.”
