Pending court approval, EOMG will be adding two more newspapers to the fold with the expected additions of the La Grande Observer and the Baker City Her- ald, Heidi Wright, chief operating offi cer of the EO Media Group, announced on Tuesday. “We’re excited to wel- come the La Grande Observer and Baker City Herald into the EO Media Group family,” Wright said. “Our family-held company has deep roots in Eastern Oregon since 1908.” The reported purchase price was $775,000 for the two papers. Fourth-genera- tion EO Media Group owner Kathryn Brown of Pendle- ton said she is excited about the purchase. “My cousins and I are committed to keeping local journalism alive in the rural communities we serve,” she said. “We look forward to providing credible and rel- evant news to Union and Baker counties for many EOMG photo Pending court approval, EOMG will be adding two more newspapers to the fold with the expected additions of the La Grande Observer and the Baker City Herald, Heidi Wright, chief operating offi cer of the EO Media Group, announced on Tuesday. years to come.” Wright said that if all goes well, the sale will be completed July 1. Western Communica- tions Inc. owns the two Eastern Oregon newspa- pers, along with the Bend Bulletin and a few other publications in Oregon and California. The corporation fi led for Chapter 11 bank- ruptcy protection in January. Lawyers for Western Com- munications told the bank- ruptcy court the plan was to sell property and buildings, according to court records, and in a hearing last week said all the newspapers had offers. “A few weeks ago, the (EOMG) put in a bid to take over ownership of the papers in La Grande and Baker City,” Wright said. “These towns are in close proximity to the company’s other publications on the east side of Oregon, which makes this a great oppor- tunity to strengthen news coverage for all of Eastern Oregon.” The bankruptcy court has the fi nal say in accept- ing EOMG’s offer. Wright said the expectation is the court is going to give the approval. Western Communica- tions previously fi led for Chapter 11 protection in August 2011, following a three-year dispute with the Bank of America, the com- pany’s largest creditor at the time. The company emerged from Chapter 11 protection in April 2012. Earlier this year, the motor failed on the 53-year- old press that had long printed the La Grande Observer and the Baker City Herald. Since then, the two newspapers have been printed on the East Orego- nian’s press in Pendleton.
