The New Bedford Standard-Times is one of several newspapers in southeastern Massachusetts along with The Fall River Herald-News and the Taunton Daily Gazette. Its coverage area includes Acushnet, Dartmouth, Fairhaven, Fall River, Freetown, Lakeville, Marion, Mattapoisett, New Bedford, Rochester, Wareham, and Westport, Massachusetts.
Circulation, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, was an average of 33,047 daily and 34,217 on Sundays for the six-month period ending March 31, 2006. That makes it the largest paper in the region, though the Cape Cod Times -- also owned by Ottaway Community Newspapers -- to the east has a higher circulation.
[edit] History
The New Bedford Standard-Times formed from the 1934 merger of The New Bedford Standard and The New Bedford Times. The Standard had been in operation since 1894.
