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 permanent staff. It had two reporters when CherryRoad took over, but they had left in 2023. With no freelancers, it had relied on local residents sending in material. Eventually, the City of Crookston chose to move its legal notices to the Thief River Falls shopper.[6]
