The Daily News Tribune (formerly called the News-Tribune and the Waltham Evening News) was an afternoon daily newspaper in Waltham, Massachusetts, United States, covering that city and the neighboring city of Newton.
In its last years, the Tribune was managed and printed by The MetroWest Daily News, and owned by Community Newspaper Company, a division of GateHouse Media. In 2010, the Tribune printed its last daily edition, and was replaced by a weekly newspaper called the Waltham News Tribune. It no longer covers Newton.
By 1980, the News-Tribune was part of a five-paper chain, Transcript Newspapers Inc., that included the Daily Transcript of Dedham and three weekly newspapers in West Roxbury-Roslindale (neighborhoods of Boston), Newton and Needham (suburbs west of Boston).
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) -- and eventually, in 1986, to Harte-Hanks, which combined it with the Middlesex News to form News-Transcript Group.
