The inland region of Massachusetts is rich in history and heritage. This commitment to excellence is reflected in Massachusetts newspaper companies.

I recommend: Springfield publishes The Republican, which focuses on the politics and community growth that direct market trends. The Berkshire Eagle highlights the local news while showcasing guides to other towns in the area so that businesses can keep their finger on the needs and concerns of area communities. The Recorder is published in Greenfield Mass, nestled in among the mountains of the western region, and publishes an extensive business directory that makes your company easily accessible to prospective customers.

I recommend: The Boston Globe and the Boston Herald are both internationally known MA newspapers. Their business section and financial news cover not only their region, but the entire New England area. The Salem News carries the town's official Witch City logo on its masthead, and current stock quotes can be accessed any time of the day or night from their online Massachusetts newspaper site.

The southern region of Massachusetts contains many oceanside communities. The newspapers in Massachusetts that originate there focus on tourism, business, and local news.

I recommend: Advertise your business in the Inquirer and Mirror and you will reach 30,000 residents of Nantucket and Cape Cod each week. The Standard-Times originates in New Bedford and focuses on the south coast of Massachusetts, with an extensive business directory that both lists businesses and provides and opportunity for advertising that reaches the community. Advertising in coastal community newspapers like the Massachusetts-based Provincetown Banner is another great way to promote your business to a distinct market.
