The last local owner of the paper was Jared How, who sold The Free Press Co. to Ottaway Newspapers Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dow Jones & Co. Ottaway acquired 11 percent of the company in 1977 and the remainder in 1979.
In 2002, Ottaway sold The Free Press and other papers to Community Newspaper Holdings Inc.
In 2009, acknowledging its multiple media offerings, the Free Press changed to The Free Press Media. It also publishes the MN Valley Business magazine, Mankato Magazine and The Land, a Midwest agricultural publication. And it serves its readers through www.mankatofreepress.com which started in 1994 and now ranks as the No. 1 news website in the region.
Besides the numerous state awards for excellence, the FPM was named CNHI's Newspaper of the Year for 2010 and CNHI's Best Website for 2013.
