[edit] Newspapers

CNC's newspaper holdings are divided into six semi-autonomous units, each with its own editor-in-chief, covering distinct geographic areas of eastern Massachusetts. A seventh "unit" consists of newspapers formerly held by Memorial Press Group, which is being combined with CNC's South Unit.

Listed along with each title is the city, town or neighborhood it covers; whether it is distributed free or paid; and what day of the week it is published.
