Matt and Kim Hall have picked up another south coast paper. Jean Ivey, owner of The Sentinel, signed a sales contract
transferring the paper to the Halls today. Ivey worked with Hall over the past decade on other weekly papers and had a working agreement that when Ivey was ready to slow down, Hall would take over The Sentinel. Ivey will still be at the office for the foreseeable future to allow a smooth transition while the new owners get organized.

Hall is the owner of The Port Orford News, The Curry County Reporter and recently acquired The Myrtle Point Herald.
