Media Division
The media division has changed rural journalism thanks to a hyperlocal, online-first approach that utilizes social media to deliver high quality news content that is both accurate and timely. The media division oversees the newspapers - Antelope County News, Knox County News, Stanton Register and Cedar Valley News.
The Antelope County News has earned countless honors, including the Laurel Johnson Sweepstakes award from 2017 to 2022 from the Nebraska Press Association, naming it the top weekly newspaper in Nebraska (of all sizes). It's won numerous awards from the National Newspaper Association. The ACN began as a digital-only media and expanded into print when the company purchased the Orchard News in 2016. With just three years, the publication more than quadrupled in size. In 2019, the company purchased the Neligh News & Leader and the Clearwater Record-Ewing News and merged the three publications, creating one of the largest weekly newspapers in the state.
The Knox County News launched in 2014 as a digital-only media and expanded to print with the purchase of the Bloomfield Monitor in 2017. Already the largest newspaper in the county, the addition of the Creighton News in 2019 made the KCN also one of the largest in the state of Nebraska. The KCN has won countless honors from the Nebraska Press Association.
The Stanton Register came to Pitzer Digital in unusual fashion. During the COVID pandemic, the former owners were closing the publication when Pitzer Digital stepped in to save the publication. In 2021 and 2022, the Stanton Register earned runner-up honors by the Nebraska Press Association in its top newspaper of the year contest. It was named best in its circulation division both years.
The Cedar Valley News is the newest publication in the Pitzer Digital Family. It stems from a merger of the Greeley Citizen, Spalding Enterprise and Cedar Rapids Press. Again Pitzer Digital, wanted to save the Spalding and Cedar Rapids publication. With the latter not being a legal newspaper, the company planned to merge the two and form a larger legal paper. However, once the acquisition was announced, the Greeley newspaper was added to the mix, making it also one of the largest newspapers in the state.
