History

The Crookston Daily Times was founded in 1891. Gannett sold the paper to CherryRoad Media in December 2021. [4] [5] The Times published its final issue on February 7, 2025. The closure came after the company struggled to find workers and the City of Crookston chose to move its legal notices to the Thief River Falls shopper. [6]
