Ogden Newspapers is moving its subscription and distribution operations to CherryRoad Media’s LocalRoad platform in a shared services partnership.

Ogden’s portfolio includes more than 50 daily newspapers and associated weeklies. 

LocalRoad is a cloud-based circulation platform built for newspaper publishers. It was developed by the Media Division of CherryRoad in partnership with the company's Technologies Division.

"CherryRoad brought not just the right system, but the right approach – listening first, aligning on our operational realities, and committing to an integration plan that meets our deadlines and our standards," says Cameron Nutting Williams, managing director of Ogden Newspapers, in a statement. "We're excited about what LocalRoad enables for our subscribers, our teams, and our growth."

Jeremy Gulban, CEO of CherryRoad, notes that the two companies “share a commitment to the sustainability of community journalism, and we appreciate the opportunity to support Ogden's efforts with systems we originally built for our own publishing operations."
