The circulation “alliance” between the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and Community Publishers Inc. of Bentonville will continue for the foreseeable future, said Paul Smith, general manager of the D-G.

Rumors that the alliance was a three-year contract that would expire this year are untrue, he said.

“There’s no time limit on it,” Smith said. “This thing is working well. There’s absolutely no reason to change it.”

The alliance, which began in August 2000, resulted in two CPI newspapers being circulated with the Northwest Arkansas edition of the D-G — the Northwest Arkansas Times of Fayetteville in Washington County and Benton County Daily Record of Bentonville in that county.
