The News-Times is a 30,000-circulation daily newspaper in Danbury, Connecticut, United States. It is owned by MediaNews Group Inc.
The paper covers greater Danbury, a city in Fairfield County in southwestern Connecticut. Other towns covered include Brookfield, New Fairfield, Newtown, Bethel, Ridgefield, Redding, Roxbury, New Milford, Sherman and Kent, Connecticut; and Brewster, New York.
In addition to its Danbury headquarters, The News-Times maintains a news bureau in New Milford.
The News-Times also owns and operates The Greater New Milford Spectrum, a weekly newspaper that covers Roxbury, New Milford, Sherman, Kent, Washington and Bridgewater, Connecticut.
The Ottaway Community Newspapers chain purchased the paper in 1955. Ottaway, which later became a division of Dow Jones & Company, owned the newspaper until November 2006, when its sale to Community Newspaper Holdings was announced.[2]
Five months later, on April 1, 2007, the newspaper, along with the weekly Spectrum, was sold for US$75 million to MediaNews Group of Denver, Colorado. MediaNews also owns the Connecticut Post in Bridgeport and the Brooks Community Newspapers chain of weeklies in lower Fairfield County.
Dean Singleton, chairman and chief executive officer of MediaNews, told News-Times employees the paper would remain independent of the larger Connecticut Post, even though the Danbury paper’s publisher will report to the publisher of the Post, The News-Times reported. MediaNews announced that it will also buy the News-Times building at 333 Main Street, which had not been part of the sale to Community Newspaper Holdings.[3]
