Published 6:30 am EDT, Thursday, July 28, 2011
Northern Michigan Review, which publishes the Petoskey News-Review, has purchased the CMD (Central Michigan Directories) Phonebook.
News-Review Publisher Doug Caldwell said the purchase is a positive step toward the company's continued growth. CMD Phonebook serves Clare, Gladwin, Isabella, Gratiot and Midland counties, with a distribution of 111,000, said Larry Hensley, Petoskey News-Review CFO and publisher of the PhoneGuide and CMD Phonebook.
Caldwell and Hensley said the purchase allows Northern Michigan Review to expand its resources in the independent yellow pages.
"We look at this as a viable investment in Mount Pleasant and central Michigan and we're looking forward to those opportunities," Cadwell said.
Along with the News-Review, Northern Michigan Review publications include the PhoneGuide phone directories, Charlevoix Courier and Gaylord Herald Times newspapers, entertainment publication The Graphic and HomeLife and GoodLife magazines.
Northern Michigan Review is a subsidiary of Schurz Communications Inc., a privately-owned company headquartered in South Bend, Ind.
