A 120-year-old weekly newspaper serving B.C.’s interior has been purchased by a local Indigenous-owned corporation that’s determined to “represent and uplift the community it serves.” The K’en T’em Limited Partnership purchased the Merritt Herald, which was founded in 1905. K’en T’em, headquartered in Merritt, British Columbia, bought the newspaper from Vancouver-based Glacier Media.

“We’re taking community ownership of something that’s already doing great work,” said Marius Auer, Communications and Engagement Manager at K’en T’em Limited Partnership, and a former editor at the newspaper. “It’s not about taking over or changing its mission, it’s about creating that strong local backing. People can still expect to see the Herald show up for them every Thursday, as it has been for 120 years,” Auer added.
