Berlin Journal Newspapers, which serves Green Lake county in Wisconsin, has been sold to Finger Printing and Publishing Inc. 

The terms were not disclosed.

Included in the sale are five weekly newspapers — The Berlin Journal, Green Lake Reporter, Markesan Regional Reporter, Princeton Times-Republic, and Omro Herald — and a free weekly advertising paper, The Billboard, according to The Wisconsin Newspaper Association.

“We are excited to add the Berlin Journal Family of papers to our existing organization,” says Tom Finger, who runs Black Earth-based Finger Printing and Publishing with Pam Finger. “We feel the papers are mirror images of our current publications.” 

Finger Printing and Publishing now runs more than 20 publications in Wisconsin.  

Berlin Journal Newspapers also publishes several travel guides and operates a commercial printing business. The company is run by Ty Gonyo, son of long-time leader Robert Gonyo.
