Oklahoma newspaper-web ‘merger’

News. Local news web site OKCTalk.com has acquired Tierra Media Group, the parent company of Oklahoma Gazette. The weekly newspaper’s founder and publisher for 40 years, Bill Bleakley, is passing control to Peter J. Brzycki, owner of OKCTalk. Under what the two owners described as “a merger”, the two news brands will be owned by a newly-formed company OKC Next Media. An Oklahoma native, Brzycki began his career in real estate and management consultancy in California. This newspaper-web merger seems to be a good idea for quite a few much larger news properties round the world, doesn’t it?
