In a year where Minnesota's newspaper landscape has seen a lot of change, more is on the horizon after three more community papers have new owners.
The Republican Eagle, which covers Red Wing, and Hudson Star-Observer, which covers Hudson, Wisconsin, newspapers have been sold to O'Rourke Media Group.
Forum Communications Company, which owns several newspapers in the state, sold RiverTown Multimedia, which publishes the two papers, according to a story on the papers' website.
And for the time being, O'Rourke Media Group says readers of the two papers won't see any immediate changes to the print or digital sides after the transition takes effect Jan. 1, 2021.
