After learning that the Three Rivers (Michigan) Commercial-News intended to cease publication, Mike Wilcox, owner of a local, Southwest Michigan newspaper group, purchased the paper to prevent its demise. He plans to restart publication, this Friday, Dec. 16.
He believes the key to success is converting the twice-weekly newspaper to a weekly newspaper and only publishing one issue per week on Fridays.
News Director, Robert Tomlinson will return to his former position; continuing to serve the community as he has for the past several years.
