OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- The employee-owned Omaha World-Herald Co. has bought The Grand Island Independent and the York News-Times from GateHouse Media Inc.
The deal gives the World-Herald 10 daily newspapers in Nebraska and Iowa, including the flagship Omaha World-Herald, and 23 nondaily papers. Terms of the deal were not disclosed when the deal was announced Thursday.
World-Herald President and Chief Executive Terry Kroeger says no immediate changes are planned at either the Grand Island or York papers.
Fairport, N.Y.-based GateHouse had owned the two newspapers only since last fall when it bought 14 daily papers from Morris Communication Co.
The World-Herald says Grand Island has a 20,500 circulation and York has a 4,700 circulation.
