FortuneShuttered local newspapers across Wyoming and South Dakota come back to life because of their big audience of 10,000A dozen recently shuttered newspapers across Wyoming and South Dakota are being revived after buyers stepped up quickly to prevent rural communities from becoming 'news deserts.' News Media Corporation announced on Aug. 6 it was closing 31 outlets in five states, and within less than two weeks, a Wyoming publishing group agreed to buy eight papers while Champion Media (North Carolina) agreed to purchase four newspapers in South Dakota. The South Dakota papers have a combined circulation of around 10,000 and are described as profitable, with all staff being offered positions at the revived publications.PR NewswireChampion Media, Coastal Bend Publishing, Shoreline Media and Avant Publications add CuratorCrowd™ to Digital PropertiesAmerican Hometown Media (AHM) has partnered with Coastal Bend Publishing, Shoreline Media Group, and Avant Publications to expand its CuratorCrowd™ Traffic & Engagement Platform, which helps digital publishers drive audience engagement, increase traffic, and generate additional revenue through trending recipe content and video.
