In 2012, Media General sold most of its newspapers, including the Eagle, to Berkshire Hathaway.⁵ In 2020, the Eagle and all Berkshire Hathaway newspapers were acquired by Lee Enterprises.⁶

Starting June 20, 2023, the print edition of the newspaper will be reduced to three days a week: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Also, the newspaper will transition from being delivered by a traditional newspaper delivery carrier to mail delivery by the U.S. Postal Service.⁷
