BREAKING NEWS: The historic Rolette Record has officially been sold to Roy B. Miller and Gene Farley, marking a significant shift in ownership for the long-standing weekly newspaper. This urgent development comes from a group of local farmers who have owned the publication.
The announcement was made on November 30, 1929, with Miller, who is also the owner and editor of the Cando Record, taking the reins alongside Farley, who has served as a linotype operator under Miller for the past five years. This transition is expected to have immediate implications for the community and its local news coverage.
E. W. Dickinson, the managing editor of the Rolette Record under the previous ownership, will be departing from Rolette, although his future plans have yet to be disclosed. This marks a notable change in the newspaper landscape, as Dickinson has been a key figure in the publication.
The Rolette Record was established 25 years ago by Charles W. Sibley and has remained politically independent throughout its history. New owners Miller and Farley have pledged to maintain this independence, with Farley set to take on the role of editor.
Joseph Lemieux from Rolette will assist Farley, ensuring continuity as the new staff prepares for their first issue, which is scheduled to be published next week. This transition is poised to reshape the local media environment, providing fresh perspectives to the residents of Rolette and Cando.
As this story develops, residents are encouraged to stay tuned for updates on the Rolette Record’s forthcoming editions and the changes that may follow under the new leadership. The community is eager to see how this shift will impact local reporting and engagement in the area.
