John Heaston told the Omaha
World-Leader that he is buying
the AAN-member Omaha Reader from
the family of the late Alan Baer.
Heaston helped to found the Reader
before selling his stake in 1999 and later
starting up the competing Omaha Weekly.
The two papers will merge and,
"for now," will be called the Omaha
Weekly Reader, according to Heaston.
