To the Readers, Advertisers and Staff of The Clermont Sun:

The Clermont Sun has been sold. The new owner is MCM Media LLC, whose CEO is Scott Champion, a veteran newspaper owner and executive.

The Sun enjoys a place of historical significance in the Clermont community. Its record of continuous publication since 1828 is one that few other newspapers in Ohio can-claim.

The Sun also enjoys a reputation for quality, and is the winner of dozens of awards from the Ohio Newspaper Association. When I think of those awards, the name of one columnist stands out: Rosanna Hoberg, humorist, friend and one who loved the newspaper.

Now, after 44 years as publisher, I’d like to extend my sincere appreciation to the newspaper’s readers and advertisers for their support.

To members of The Sun staff, much credit and gratitude goes to you for your hard work and achievements through the years.

Special thanks to Tony Adams, who has been with the paper for over 32 years and has filled the role of CEO with loyalty and dedication, and to Dianna Fischer, who has done an outstanding job as the company’s financial officer. It has been a privilege to work with all of you.

Scott Champion, I wish you success. You have a great team and a fine community to serve.

Bill Latham
