KERA, North Texas’ source for PBS and NPR programming, and the Denton (Texas) Record-Chronicle, Denton County’s primary source of local news online and in print, have completed their previously announced acquisition.
The Record-Chronicle will convert to become a nonprofit organization and a wholly owned LLC operated by KERA. The Record-Chronicle will remain a local news organization headquartered in Denton and led by Publisher Bill Patterson.
“Immediately in our conversations with KERA, it was clear that this move would be to the benefit of local journalism, specifically here in Denton County,” Patterson said. “Both KERA and the Record-Chronicle are committed to serving this community and innovating the future of this industry.”
