It has been almost two years since Jason Sethre took on a new adventure and bought the Rochester Buyer’s Guide. The publication received an overhaul, and became the Olmsted County Journal, a newspaper with human interest stories as well as government and school board coverage throughout Olmsted County.

The Olmsted County Journal has had its main office in Preston, along with the Fillmore County Journal, but recently an office was established in Rochester.

“We owe our success to our supporting advertisers and readers,” said Sethre. “With that said, our team at the Olmsted County Journal is extremely dedicated to serving the needs of readers and advertisers in Olmsted County, and establishing an office in Rochester will help to further our support for the communities we serve.”

The new office is located at 2215 2nd St SW, Suite 100C, right next to Kwik Trip in a strip mall. It is in the same entrance as where you’ll find Jackson-Hewitt Tax Service.

Sethre has already had meetings with Olmsted County Journal sales people and freelance writers at the office, and has already had people stop by to pick up copies of the paper. He has seen more foot traffic than he expected this soon, and he is really excited about it.

“I anticipate this new location to be used for interviews for human interest stories appearing in our newspaper, along with our salespeople meeting with clients regarding their advertising plans,” shared Sethre.

SMG Web Design, a division of parent company Sethre Media Group, Inc., will also be using the office to assist Olmsted County clients as needed, as will Perfect Glossy, VBC Video, and SMG Computer Solutions.

“It is important for me, personally, to keep my ear to the ground to be aware of what’s happening in Olmsted County,” said Sethre. “As a media company, we have a responsibility to our readers. Along with keeping our finger on the pulse of the news as it develops, we will be spending more time getting involved in organizations that make a difference in the area. We want to help where we can.”

The Olmsted County Journal will continue to focus on providing solid local news coverage in the area, because that’s what has made it successful and popular with readers. According to Sethre, they will continue with that mission.
