Hearst to purchase Dallas Morning News

Hearst has significantly expanded its foothold in Texas, & the Dallas purchase means it will own newspapers in the state’s four largest cities. It purchased the Austin American-Statesman from Gannett earlier this year. The company last year acquired several magazines in the San Antonio & Austin region.

In Texas, Hearst also owns the Beaumont Enterprise, Laredo Morning Times, Midland Reporter-Telegram and Plainview Herald
