The Wakefield Daily Item is an independent daily newspaper published in Wakefield, Massachusetts.
Fred W. Young printed the first Item on May 7, 1894, running the paper until selling to printer Alstead W. Browne in March of 1900; he sold out to Harris M. Dolbeare, who established the Wakefield Item Company April 1, 1900.[1]
The Item's presidents have all been Dolbeare's heirs -- his widow Emma Dolbeare, sons Cyrus and Richard Dolbeare, and now grandson Glenn Dolbeare. The paper has had seven editors: Harris Dolbeare (1900-1938, when he died), Gardner Campbell (1938-1953), Robert C. Reed (1953-1966), Kendall Dolbeare (1966-1986), Janet Constantakes (1986-1988) and Peter Rossi (since 1988).[1]
The newspaper competes for readers in Wakefield with a local edition of the Daily Times Chronicle, based in nearby Woburn and Reading; and with the Wakefield Observer, a weekly newspaper published at the Beverly office of Community Newspaper Company.
