Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette Fayetteville, AR

The Northwest Arkansas Times was formerly owned by the Thomson Corporation, who sold it to Hollinger in 1995; Hollinger sold it on to Community Publishers Inc., owned by Jim Walton, in 1999. In 2005, WEHCO Media bought the Northwest Arkansas Times and the Benton County Daily Record from CPI. 2009, WEHCO and Stephens Media merged their northwest Arkansas papers into a joint venture, Northwest Arkansas Newspapers. On Jan. 5, 2015, Northwest Arkansas Newspapers consolidated their four daily newspapers -- The Northwest Arkansas Times Benton County Record, Springdale Morning News, and Rogers Morning News—with the Northwest Arkansas edition of the Democrat-Gazette, creating the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, with the former separate local papers serving as the local news section inside the newspaper.
