DFM in September hired investment adviser UBS Securities to review alternatives, including selling the entire company, selling regional clusters or doing nothing. "We continue to have discussions concerning selected assets and we are looking at potential acquisition opportunities. Our performance is driving our digital future and increased profitability, and our essentially debt-free structure has given us a lot of options, which we will continue to explore," DFM CEO John Paton and chief operating officer Steve Rossi said in a joint statement sent to employees. The memo also said Paton will leave DFM on June 30, the end of the fiscal year, at which time Rossi will assume leadership of the company. Rossi will remain president and chief operating officer, reporting to the executive chairman of the board. Digital First Media was formed in December 2013 with the merger of Denver-based MediaNews Group and the former Journal Register Co. It is the nation's second-largest newspaper company, based on circulation, operating in 15 states, with 800 multi-platform news and information products, including 76 daily and Sunday newspapers and 160 weeklies. The company said it serves 75 million customers monthly. Its largest properties include The Denver Post, the San Jose Mercury News, the Los Angeles Daily News, The New Haven Register, the St. Paul Pioneer Press, and The Salt Lake Tribune. In Colorado, the company also owns the Boulder Daily Camera, Longmont Times-Call, Loveland Reporter-Herald, Cañon City Daily Record, Estes Park Trail-Gazette, and seven smaller papers on the Eastern Plains. ## More in News ##### The Day in Photos – Wednesday, June 29, 2016 June 29, 2016 A selection of the best images of the day from around the country and across the world on Wednesday, June 29, 2016. ##### Lightning strike causes fire in Garfield County June 29, 2016 A wildfire is burning along Colorado Route 320 between Rifle and Rulison, and the Garfield County Sheriff's Office said it may have been started by a lightning strike. ##### Facebook's latest news feed tweak: This time, it's personal June 29, 2016 Facebook has once again tweaked the formula it uses to decide what people will see in their news feed — and this time, it's personal. ##### Public Utilities Commission agrees to billing and credit change for solar gardens June 29, 2016 The Colorado Public Utilities Commission allowed changes to a quirky billing and crediting methodology, making solar gardens more accessible to residential and low-income customers and reversing the commission's previous decision in March.
