From the Kansas Press Association:
The Haysville Sun-Times is being acquired by Times-Sentinel Newspapers LLC, effective Feb. 11.
The Sun-Times has been published by owner Marc Campbell for the past five years. Campbell said he’d been looking for someone to take over the local newspaper, and launched discussions with Times-Sentinel owner Paul Rhodes late last year.
“I’m excited that Paul and his staff were ready to take on this newspaper, and that we could finalize the sale of the newspaper in such short order,” said Campbell. Campbell also owns and operates True Value Hardware in Haysville, and said he wants to concentrate his energies on the hardware store. Campbell has owned and operated the True Value store for nine years.
He said he wanted to sell the Sun-Times to someone who could bring a new energy level to the newspaper, and would be committed to keeping the paper alive.
Rhodes said that’s exactly his plans for the Sun-Times.
