Historic newspapers for sale in Robertson County, Texas
Roy McCoy, General Manager, Phillips Publishing, LLC.
Continually in print since 1893, the Robertson County News (Hearne Democrat), Franklin Advocate (1983), and Calvert Tribune (not in print) are currently offered for sale by owner Dennis Phillips.
Having operated these newspapers since 2012 with his wife, Teresa Phillips, Phillips Publishing LLC acquired the community group from Moser Community Media in December 2019, pre-Covid.
Having sustained business through the COVID-19 Pandemic, Teresa Phillips was diagnosed with Colon Cancer and passed away in February 2023. The newspapers, however, suffered very little through all of life's unfortunate events, but it is time to sell.
"I hate to let them go," said Phillips, "However, after a considerable amount of thought, it boils down to the simple truth that the way things have turned out in my life, it is just time to move on to a new position and give someone else the opportunity to operate some great newspapers, in a great community. The way things turned out in my life is not how Teresa and I planned, but sometimes God has a different plan."
The newspapers are being offered at 25% gross. All accounting is current, and financials can be provided upon request.
"It is important that this group of newspapers continue the historic run," said Phillips, "Robertson County as a community supports the local newspapers, and the community deserves to have their newspapers cared for by a professional crew."
If you would like more information, please email discounttshirtco@gmail.com or text 979-250-2733 with the request, and Dennis will return your call as soon as possible. (08012023)
