MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
Tracing its roots to early colonial print shops, the Granite State press landscape features historically independent publications existing alongside consolidated regional dailies. The Manchester-based New Hampshire Union Leader remains the largest statewide daily, traditionally known for its conservative editorial stances. In the capital, the independently owned Concord Monitor provides regular coverage under Newspapers of New England. The southern tier is anchored by The Telegraph in Nashua, an Ogden Newspapers property, while the eastern coast relies on the Gannett-owned Portsmouth Herald. Alternative news and local entertainment coverage rely heavily on weekly publications like the widely circulated Hippo. Paperboy indexes 34 New Hampshire newspapers — browse the full directory below.
