Sisters and competitors

The family that formerly owned Nashoba, headed by publisher Frank J. Hartnett Sr., sold the chain in 2000, for an undisclosed amount of money.[1] Two years later, MediaNews opened a new plant in Devens, Massachusetts, in the middle of Nashoba's coverage area, to print Nashoba's weeklies, The Lowell Sun, and the Sentinel & Enterprise.[2]

Nashoba newspapers' primary competitors are their sister dailies in Fitchburg and Lowell. Additionally, in Harvard, the company competes with a weekly owned by Community Newspaper Company; and in Ayer, Devens, Harvard and Shirley with the daily Worcester Telegram & Gazette.
