Nashoba Publishing
Nashoba Publishing is a weekly newspaper company in the far northwest suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts. It is operated by MediaNews Group in common with sister papers the Lowell Sun and Sentinel & Enterprise.
Sisters and competitors
[edit]The family that formerly owned Nashoba, headed by publisher Frank J. Hartnett Sr., sold the chain in 2000, for an undisclosed amount of money.[1] Two years later, MediaNews opened a new plant in Devens, Massachusetts, in the middle of Nashoba's coverage area, to print Nashoba's weeklies, The Lowell Sun, and the Sentinel & Enterprise.[2]
Nashoba newspapers' primary competitors are their sister dailies in Fitchburg and Lowell. Additionally, in Harvard, the company competes with a weekly owned by Community Newspaper Company; and in Ayer, Devens, Harvard and Shirley with the daily Worcester Telegram & Gazette.
