EOMG to purchase La Grande, Baker City papers
BY HERMISTON HERALD
EO
Media
Group’s
presence in Ore-
gon is set to get
even stronger.
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

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.
