Roseburg News-Review Ownership Black-out

The News-Review newspaper is under new ownership, Lotus Media, as of September 1st. 

     Neither the News-Review, nor KPIC/KVAL-TV, nor the Brooke Communications Roseburg radio stations will report WHO owns Lotus Media!
     Pat Markham, the owner of all of Brooke Communications/Roseburg's radio stations, is the owner of Lotus Media! 
     I've never seen such sloppy journalism in all of my life. SHAME on the News-Review, SHAME on KPIC/KVAL-TV, SHAME on Brooke Communications radio stations.
     If Pat Markham is too afraid to publicly announce that he has purchased the local daily newspaper, then the local print and broadcast reporters need to at least prove to their audiences that they tried to report the news. Examples: "Lotus Media declined to say who their owners are, and this reporter was too lazy to look up the information on line" or "Lotus Media owners declined to comment about their management structure", etc.
     I don't mean to sound condescending to other journalists, but is there not a single reporter in the Roseburg area who at least has the initiative to make a few phone calls, instead of regurgitating what is sent to them in a press release?
     I fear that this is the type of journalism Douglas County will have in the future, where one individual can suppress important information from ALL of the local news media.
     Kudos to the Coos Bay World for having the guts and initiative to "break" this story, by going to the Oregon Secretary of State's website to find out who owns Lotus Media! 
     Is looking something up on the internet going to be the new standard/definition of "investigative reporting"? (lol)
