At @Poynter: "When an industry virtually synonymous with your city changes hands, that sounds to me like a serious local news story." Battle Creek may not be a news desert, but vegetation is "pretty sparse." -- Why this is a pivotal week for public media and democracy - Poynter
Update: @Gannett's @bcenquirer acknowledges sale of hometown @KelloggsUS on Sunday, with 13-graf @Reuters story. News broke Wednesday; was official Thursday. Paper lists 2 staff members (sports and visual journalists).

The top company in this town, @KelloggsUS, was founded in 1906 and has 750 employees here and was sold Thursday to a foreign company. This is the news report from the hometown @Gannett paper.

At least one Michigan paper had news of @KelloggsUS sale today, but home state @Gannett papers @freep and @bcenquirer were not it.
