''The Daily News Transcript'' (formerly known as the ''Neponset Valley Daily News'') was a five-day (Monday through Friday) afternoon daily newspaper in Norwood, Massachusetts, U.S., covering the Neponset Valley of Norfolk County, Massachusetts. The ''Transcript'' was originally published in Dedham, and also covered Walpole and Westwood. In its final years, the ''Transcript'' was managed and printed by ''The MetroWest Daily News''. Both were owned by Community Newspaper Company, a division of GateHouse Media. == History == By 1980, the ''Transcript'' -- then called the ''Daily Transcript'' -- was the flagship of a five-paper chain, Transcript Newspapers Inc., that included the ''News-Tribune'' of Waltham and three weekly newspapers in West Roxbury-Roslindale (neighborhoods of Boston), Newton and Needham (suburbs west of Boston).〔"(Employees Fired in Newspaper Strike )". ''The Boston Globe'', p. 1, July 26, 1980.〕 Between August 1984 and March 1986, the company was sold four times: to Gillett Communications in 1984; then to Thomson Newspapers that December; in April 1985 to William Dean Singleton (head of MediaNews Group)〔Fox, Wendy. "(Transcript Newspapers Sold for Third Time in 8 Months )". ''The Boston Globe'', p. 32, April 23, 1985.〕 -- and eventually, in 1986, to Harte-Hanks, which combined it with the ''Middlesex News'' to form News-Transcript Group.〔Adams, Jane Meredith. "(Harte-Hanks Acquires Transcript Group )". ''The Boston Globe'', March 14, 1986.〕 News-Transcript, a chain of three dailies and several weekly newspapers stretching from Boston west to Framingham, Massachusetts, remained a Harte-Hanks property until 1994, when the company continued its divestment of print properties by selling the Massachusetts papers to Fidelity Investments' Community Newspaper Company, already the publisher of dozens of weeklies in the Boston suburbs.〔Ackerman, Jerry. "(Fidelity Unit Buys 14 Newspapers )". ''The Boston Globe'', November 23, 1994.〕 CNC changed the newspaper's name, in 1999, to ''Neponset Valley Daily News'', to emphasize the paper's connections with its home region and its sister papers. This name was changed again shortly after, to ''Daily News Transcript''. In 2000, Fidelity sold CNC to the publisher of the ''Boston Herald''.〔Jurkowitz, Mark. "(Boston Herald to Buy Community Newspapers )". ''The Boston Globe'', p. A1, September 29, 2000.〕 The new owner instituted a content-sharing arrangement between CNC and the ''Herald'', resulting in a regular stream of ''Daily News'' stories appearing in the Boston newspaper. That arrangement continued even after the ''Herald'' sold CNC to Liberty Group Publishing (later renamed GateHouse Media) in 2006.〔Gatlin, Greg. "(Herald to Sell Suburban Papers; Purcell Keeps Hub Tabloid's Reins )". ''Boston Herald'', May 6, 2006.〕〔 〕 On Aug. 20, 2009, GateHouse Media announced the Daily News Transcript would be ending publication in October 2009. The company plans to continue to cover the towns in the Transcript's coverage area with weekly papers, including a new one called the Dedham Transcript.〔Colby, Edward B. "Transcript changing to weekly format". ''Daily News Transcript'', August 20, 2009.〕 The last edition of the Daily News Transcript was published on September 25, 2009.〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Daily News Transcript」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
