The Gazette (Cedar Rapids, Iowa)

The Evening Gazette was first published on January 10, 1883. The paper was co-founded by Lucian H. Post and Elbridge T. Otis. In March 1884, the paper was sold to Clarence Miller and Fred Faulkes. Their descendants would run the paper for the next century. In 1986, The Gazette Company formed an employee stock ownership plan which purchased about 38% of outstanding stock. The company became 100% employee owned in 2012 and was renamed to Folience in 2017. In November 2025, Folience sold The Gazette and 11 other community newspapers to Adams MultiMedia. ==TV and radio==

The Gazette Company owned KCRG-TV (the call letters stand for "Cedar Rapids Gazette") until selling it to Gray Television, with the transfer being completed on October 1, 2015. The company also owned KCRG radio (1600 AM) until selling the station to the owners of another local broadcaster, KZIA FM 102.9. The sale was completed on October 31, 2006, with the radio station's call letters changing to KGYM as a result. SourceMedia Group also owned Decisionmark, which runs the TitanTV website, until selling it to a syndicate led by Turnstone Capital and Capitol Broadcasting Company. ==References==
