Operating until mid-2006 as Liberty Group Publishing, based in Downers Grove, Illinois, the company founded its national presence on several small dailies and weeklies from Canadian firm Hollinger International. Liberty doubled its size when, in May 2006, it announced it would acquire Community Newspaper Company of Massachusetts, the publisher of four daily and almost 100 weekly newspaper in the Boston area. At the same time, Liberty bought Community Newspaper competitor Enterprise News Media.[1] By the end of the year, the company had also announced it would acquire Journal Register Company's properties in southeastern Massachusetts.[2]

After the purchase of Community Newspaper and Enterprise Newsmedia, Liberty changed its name to GateHouse Media and moved its headquarters to upstate New York. It also "went public" with an IPO in October 2006. Company executives said GateHouse's focus on "hyper-local" journalism -- small newspapers covering small cities and towns with a depth that big newspapers and television cannot offer -- would enable it to buck downward trends in the newspaper industry.[3]
