In August 1997, it was purchased by [Gannett](/source/Gannett).[1] As part of the spinoff of digital and broadcasting properties in 2015, Gannett spun off these properties to [Tegna](/source/Tegna%2C_Inc.). In March 2016, Tegna sold Sightline Media Group to [Regent](/source/Regent%2C_L.P.), a Los Angeles-based [private equity firm](/source/Private_equity_firm) controlled by investor [Michael Reinstein](/source/Michael_Reinstein). Regent formed the publisher Archetype in 2019 for its media holdings.[2] In 2011, hackers breached a Sightline database of subscribers, obtaining their names, passwords, email addresses, duty status, paygrade, and branch of service.[3] ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-gannett_1-0)** ["Gannett completes purchase of Army Times Publishing Co"](http://www.gannett.com/article/99999999/PRESSRELEASES15/100721029/Gannett-completes-purchase-of-Army-Times-Publishing-Co.)
