The Yuma Sun has been sold to Rhode Island Suburban Newspapers Inc., effective May 1. Rhode Island Suburban Newspapers is a privately owned publisher of several daily and weekly newspapers in Rhode Island and is a part of Horizon Publications, publishers of newspapers across the United States and Canada.
However, it will be business as usual for the Yuma Sun, both for its employees and its readers.
“We are thrilled to become a subsidiary of Rhode Island Suburban Newspapers, Inc.,” said Publisher Joni Brooks. “They are longtime newspaper operators who believe in community newspapers and our future. They are very excited to be in the Yuma market, where they see a lot of potential for growth, and to be stewards of the Yuma Sun’s longtime history and relationships with the community.
