Properties
At the time of its sale to CNC in 1995, Mariner Group consisted of the following weeklies:
- Abington-Rockland Mariner of Abington and Rockland (now called The Mariner and covering only Abington)
- Braintree Forum of Braintree
- Canton Journal of Canton
- Cohasset Mariner of Cohasset
- Easton Journal of Easton
- Hanover Mariner of Hanover
- Hingham Mariner of Hingham (later renamed The Hingham Journal)
- Holbrook Sun of Holbrook
- Kingston Mariner of Kingston (later folded into the Kingston Reporter)
- Marshfield Mariner of Marshfield (the original Mariner)
- Norwell Mariner of Norwell
- Pembroke Mariner of Pembroke (later combined into the Pembroke Mariner & Reporter)
- Randolph Mariner of Randolph (later folded into the Randolph Herald)
- Scituate Mariner of Scituate
- Stoughton Journal of Stoughton
- Weymouth News of Weymouth
After the dissolution of Mariner Group, CNC started a Duxbury Mariner in Duxbury, but closed that paper in 1999 after losing a newspaper war with the Duxbury Reporter, part of Memorial Press Group, and the longtime leader, the Duxbury Clipper, of which David Cutler had become publisher.
For a few months following GateHouse Media's purchase of CNC and Memorial Press Group in 2006, the new sister companies continued to publish competing titles in several South Shore towns. Eventually the duplications were eliminated, leading to the closure of the Kingston and Randolph Mariners, and the Abington-Rockland Mariner ceasing Rockland coverage.

Famous quotes containing the word properties:
“A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
