Glacier Press purchases more BC newspapers

Glacier Press, the one time owner of the Prince Rupert Daily News, has retrenched its efforts in British Columbia, purchasing 20 British Columbia Newspapers today, including the Victoria Times Colonist and the Nanaimo Daily News.

Glacier which also owns the Prince George Citizen, sold the Daily News to Black Press in July of 2010, Black Press then closed the Daily News, bringing to an end the era of the daily newspaper in Prince Rupert.

Glacier purchased the Times Colonist from Post Media, which owns among other properties the National Post.
