History
The newspaper was owned by Waco-based Newspapers Inc. in the 1930s. William M. Rawland, who worked at the newspaper as its bookkeeper, purchased the newspaper with his father-in-law in July 1940.[2] He continued to own and published the Cleburne Times-Review through the 1970s. Rawland bought out Walter Murray in July 1947, becoming the sole owner. His official title was publisher and general manager.[2]
In 1976, he sold the newspaper to
Donrey Media Group sold the newspaper to CNHI in July 1998. A former employee, Bob Sonderegger, wrote in a Texas Journalism Review article that
"When CNHI took over the Cleburne Times-Review from Donrey Media, they were real slow on paying a lot of their bills. ... When CNHI bought the Cleburne paper in July of 1998, Ralph Martin was chief executive officer. Some internal problems caused a change. Martin exited and Mike Reed became CEO. CNHI is known for cluster-bleeping community papers by combining printing plants but Martin chose to leave Cleburne in tact [sic]. Reed went for consolidation."[citation needed]
