WEYBURN – Harvard Media is pleased to announce the acquisition of digital assets, Â鶹ÊÓƵ.ca and MooseJawToday.com, from Glacier Media.
In addition to acquiring these online communities, Harvard Media also will now have a presence in 13 additional Saskatchewan markets including Weyburn, Estevan, the Battlefords, Humboldt, Assiniboia, Canora, Preeceville, Kamsack, Carlyle, Outlook and Unity/Wilkie as these online properties are included in the acquisition. Furthermore, Harvard Media is pleased to enter into a long-term partnership with Glacier Media.
This strategic acquisition marks a significant expansion of Harvard Media's digital portfolio and underscores its commitment to delivering high-quality, local journalism across Saskatchewan.
This collaboration will leverage the strengths of both organizations to enhance content delivery, technological innovation, and advertising solutions, ensuring that the communities of Saskatchewan and beyond continue to have access to exceptional news and information services.
“This acquisition by Harvard Media and partnership with Glacier Media is a positive, Saskatchewan-based innovation that will safeguard the future of high-quality journalism in Saskatchewan,” said Jayne Foster, Editor of Â鶹ÊÓƵ.ca.
“Most importantly, the local news we provide will be supported by a long-time Saskatchewan-based company, and gathered and reported by Saskatchewan-based journalists who know what their communities care about, because these are our communities, too.”
While other media companies are reducing news, sports, agriculture and local information, the acquisition of Â鶹ÊÓƵ.ca and MooseJawToday.com is a cornerstone in Harvard Media's evolved digital strategy to enhance its hyper local presence in Western Canada, and specifically Saskatchewan’s media landscape.
"This acquisition and partnership reflect our belief in the power of local news and the importance of access to reliable information," said George Leith, Managing Partner of Harvard Media. "We are excited to welcome Â鶹ÊÓƵ.ca and MooseJawToday.com into our team and look forward to working with Glacier Media to continue serving our communities with integrity and innovation."
The Glacier Media platforms are known for their comprehensive coverage of local news, sports, community events, and in-depth reporting. Under Harvard Media's leadership, the sites will continue to serve their communities with the same dedication to journalistic integrity, while benefiting from enhanced resources and broader network support.
