Fidelity
Robert I. Owens, a local politician who was related by marriage to the Harte side of Harte-Hanks, convinced Fidelity to help finance his purchase of North Shore Weeklies in 1986. He later sold his share to Fidelity's Community Newspaper Company.
In 1992, North Shore bought the Lynn Sunday Post, a 6,100-circulation weekly it had printed for the past 15 years. The Sunday Post had been founded in Lynn in 1960.
The company debuted another weekly newspaper, the Beverly Citizen, in 1995, after Ottaway Community Newspapers merged The Beverly Times into The Salem Evening News, leaving Beverly without an in-town newspaper.
North Shore Weeklies was dissolved in early 1996, when CNC realigned its operating units by geography, assigning the North Shore papers, along with others, to new North Unit.

Famous quotes containing the word fidelity:
“The genius of American culture and its integrity comes from fidelity to the light. Plain as day, we say. Happy as the day is long. Early to bed, early to rise. American virtues are daylight virtues: honesty, integrity, plain speech. We say yes when we mean yes and no when we mean no, and all else comes from the evil one. America presumes innocence and even the right to happiness.”
—Richard Rodriguez (b. 1944)
“Total loyalty is possible only when fidelity is emptied of all concrete content, from which changes of mind might naturally arise.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
