The Herald News - Sisters and Competitors

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.
