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.
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).
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.
