Rockford Register Star sold

The Rockford Register Star has been sold by Gannett to Gatehouse Media, the same company that recently bought the former Copley newspapers in Peoria, Springfield and Galesburg. Story

From reporter Nate Legue's story about Gatehouse: “They own no metros and don’t want to. And particularly, the reason why they feel that way is that small and medium-sized daily papers still can dominate the marketplace,” Register Star Publisher Fritz Jacobi said.
