The smaller of the two main newspapers in Massachusetts' South Coast, The Herald News is a daily newspaper based in Fall River, Massachusetts. Its coverage area includes Fall River and the nearby towns of Dighton, Freetown, Somerset, Swansea and Westport, Massachusetts; and Little Compton and Tiverton, Rhode Island.
The Herald News, formerly owned by Journal Register Company, was sold in December 2006 to GateHouse Media, which owns several daily and weekly newspapers in Massachusetts.
The Herald News' main competitor to the east is The Standard-Times of the other South Coast city, New Bedford, Massachusetts. In its northern towns, The Herald News competes with the Taunton Daily Gazette, although the two were both owned by Journal Register and sold together to GateHouse.
Before the GateHouse sale, The Herald News was part of Journal Register's New England group, which included the The Call in Woonsocket, Kent County Daily Times and The Times of Pawtucket, all in Rhode Island. The Rhode Island newspapers were not included in the sale.
