Carpenter Media Group pens acquisition in Pacific Northwest

Carpenter Media Group, which recently purchased a Springfield printing company and a handful of community newspapers in southwest Missouri, is expanding in the Pacific Northwest.

Mississippi-based Carpenter Media Group signed a preliminary agreement to buy the assets of EO Media Group. The purchase includes more than two dozen newspapers and magazines in Oregon and Washington.

With more than 250 titles in the United States and Canada, Carpenter Media Group earlier this year bought Harrison, Arkansas-based Phillips Media Group. That deal included Nowata Printing Co. in Springfield and 16 community newspapers in Missouri, Arkansas and Illinois.
