Nashoba Publishing

Nashoba Publishing

Nashoba Publishing is a weekly newspaper company in the far northwest suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts. It is operated by the Sentinel & Enterprise, which in turn is owned by MediaNews Group.

Sisters and Competitors

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 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.

Newspapers

Although Nashoba is owned by and printed alongside the Sentinel & Enterprise, its newsroom is operated independently at the Devens printing plant. Titles published by Nashoba include:
