Everything about Gloucester Daily Times totally explained
The
Gloucester Daily Times is a six-day (Monday through Saturday) evening
daily newspaper published in
Gloucester, Massachusetts,
USA. The newspaper is published by
Eagle-Tribune Publishing Company, a subsidiary of
Community Newspaper Holdings Inc.
In addition to its home city, the paper also covers adjacent towns on
Cape Ann in
Essex County:
Essex,
Manchester-by-the-Sea and
Rockport. Its circulation is approximately 10,000, giving it some 22,000 readers each day.
History
Although it began as an independent daily in
1888, in recent years the paper has the centerpiece of a consolidation effort that has seen almost all the
North Shore papers bought by one owner, CNHI.
Essex County Newspapers was founded by
Philip Saltonstall Weld, a former
International Herald Tribune publisher who bought newspapers in Gloucester and Newburyport in
1952, later adding the Beverly and Peabody titles. Weld was among the first small-daily publishers to endorse political candidates, and in
1958 the
Gloucester Daily Times became the first afternoon daily to print its Saturday edition in the morning, to put its pressmen on a five-day workweek.
By the
1980s, the chain was owned by
Ottaway Community Newspapers, a division of
Dow Jones & Company, which also owned the
Cape Cod Times and
The Standard-Times of
New Bedford. Ottaway added
The Salem Evening News to its holdings, closing the evening
Beverly Times and
Peabody Times, in
1995.
The Eagle-Tribune of
North Andover, one of Essex County Newspapers' chief competitors, bought the North Shore chain in
2002, paying
US$70 million for the
Gloucester Daily Times,
The Daily News of Newburyport and
The Salem Evening News.
Eagle-Tribune executives touted the creation of a regional news organization; they also laid off some 45 staffers at the Essex County papers, including the editors of the Newburyport and Salem papers.
The
Eagle-Tribune chain was itself bought for an undisclosed amount of money by
Community Newspaper Holdings, an
Alabama company, in
2005.
