[edit] Articles For All Daily Papers

We should finish creating articles for the remaining daily newspapers that do not have them. I know I can at least write the one for Salem News, and another that is not on the list the Manchester Cricket which I think is a weekly publication. Yamaka122 15:52, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

It's something I've been working on, piecemeal, for some time now. Glad to see someone else helping out. I see that you're working mostly on Essex County titles; I've got some old Globe clippings with information to add, which I'll get around to once I get a free afternoon. As for weeklies ... I'm not sure exactly what to do here; there are a ton of weeklies in Massachusetts -- definitely more than 300, perhaps as many as 400 or 500 if business publications, alternative weeklies, college papers and foreign-language papers are to be considered. My own solution has been to encourage writing about companies that own weeklies (except in the case of independent papers, in which it would be silly to do a story on a company that consists of just one paper -- write the article about the paper itself). For an example of this, surf around the List of newspapers in Rhode Island page, which contains every R.I. paper of which I'm aware, formatted the way I'd like to see Massachusetts done.
