It has been announced that The Times Hudson Valley Media group will expand to five publications later this month; that’s due to the company’s acquisition of The Cornwall (New York) Local and The News of the Highlands.
The transition will be completed on Aug. 1, when the two newspapers are published under new ownership.
News of the Highlands Inc. President Simon Eristoff made the announcement this week:
“Our late father’s main objective in purchasing the News of the Highlands and later The Cornwall Local some fifty years ago was to preserve independent local journalism that informs and supports our local communities,” Eristoff said. “We are proud that the News and the Local have been able to continue to carry out that important mission, even as the local news business has faced many challenges over the past few decades. To best position the News and the Local to continue providing vital community journalism in the decades to come, we recently concluded an agreement whereby the News of the Highlands Inc. will become a part of Times Hudson Valley Media, a highly regarded and experienced publisher of several local news weeklies in neighboring Orange County communities. Being part of a larger organization will strengthen all the community newspapers in the Times’ portfolio. On behalf of our entire family, thank you for your longtime readership and your ongoing support for local news.”
