Liberty Group Publishing, which last year entered the business with a bang, buying 170 smaller papers from Hollinger, has acquired the Kansas City Kansan (circulation 12,000) from Inland Industries. Terms were not disclosed.
The Kansas City paper is Liberty's seventh daily in the state.

The company also picked up the Journal Herald, a 4,000-circulation weekly in Shawnee.
Inland, based in the Kansas City suburb of Lenexa, continues to own daily and weekly newspapers clustered in Missouri and Iowa.
