The Milford Daily News is an American

daily newspaper covering Milford, Massachusetts, and several nearby towns in Norfolk and Worcester
counties.

The newspaper is managed and printed by The MetroWest Daily News. Both are owned by Gannett.

History

From 1977 to 1996, the newspaper was run by

Little Falls, New York
, as well as the family's charities.

To raise money for other obligations, the trust sold the papers in 1996 to CNC, then part of

US$1 million annual profit.[3]

Terms of the deal were not made public. It was CNC's first foray into newspaper ownership outside Massachusetts; at the time, some speculated that the company would quickly turn around and sell the New York and Maine dailies; Elfers denied these rumors,[3] but within a year, CNC had indeed unloaded the Maine and New York papers.

In 2000, Fidelity sold CNC to the publisher of the Boston Herald.[4] The new owner instituted a content-sharing arrangement between CNC and the Herald, resulting in a regular stream of Daily News stories appearing in the Boston newspaper.

That arrangement continued even after the Herald sold CNC to Liberty Group Publishing (later renamed GateHouse Media) in 2006.[5]
