Sisters and Competitors
The Herald News' main competitor to the east is The Standard-Times of the other South Coast city, New Bedford, Massachusetts. In its northern towns, The Herald News competes with the Taunton Daily Gazette, although the two were both owned by Journal Register and sold together to GateHouse.
Before the GateHouse sale, The Herald News was part of Journal Register's New England group, which included the The Call in Woonsocket, Kent County Daily Times and The Times of Pawtucket, all in Rhode Island. The Rhode Island newspapers were not included in the sale.
Also associated with The Herald News, and included in the $70 million GateHouse sale, are O Jornal (a Portuguese-language weekly) and El Latino Expreso (a Spanish-language weekly), catering to the substantial immigrant population of the South Coast, and the Free-Press of North Attleborough, Massachusetts.

Famous quotes containing the words sisters and and/or sisters:
“If the Christ were content with humble toilers for disciples, that wasn’t good enough for our Bert. He wanted dukes’ half sisters and belted earls wiping his feet with their hair; grand apotheosis of the snob, to humiliate the objects of his own awe by making them venerate him.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
““Woe to my sister, false Helen!””
—Unknown. Binnorie; or, The Two Sisters (l. 55)
