The Salem News
The Salem News (formerly the Salem Evening News) is an American daily newspaper serving southern Essex County, Massachusetts. Although the paper is named for the city of Salem, its offices are now in nearby Beverly, Massachusetts. The newspaper is published Monday through Saturday afternoons by Eagle-Tribune Publishing Company, a subsidiary of Community Newspaper Holdings Inc.
In addition to its home cities, the News covers most of southern Essex County, northeast of Boston. The paper formerly published separate editions in Beverly and Peabody. The paper's circulation has been consistently over 30,000 for years, giving it some 63,000 readers every day.
History
In 1995, the assets of the long-independent Salem Evening News was bought for US$16.5 million by Ottaway Community Newspapers, a division of Dow Jones & Company and owner of two of the Evening News's chief daily competitors, the evening Beverly Times (9,000 circulation) and Peabody Times (3,000 circulation). The Evening News had a circulation around 36,000 at the time of the sale. Ottaway's Essex County Newspapers division, which also published the Gloucester Daily Times and The Daily News of Newburyport, moved its headquarters to the Evening News's Beverly offices. It merged the Salem and Peabody papers into the Beverly Times, and renamed the Beverly paper the Salem News in order to gain a non-union work force.

that's the goal! But nonsense information breaks my concentration,
mundane sound vibration is taking control! Before I want to hear your
news, I want the news on me. Been caught up so long in all of
life's hype, I haven't had time to see that beneath the disguise
the real self lies which needs a soul satisfying activity. No,
I don't want to hear your news. I want the news on me. Turn down
that noise! Who are we essentialy? Beneath the smiles, profiles,
and styles, lies individuality. No more immense pretense, I'll take
down my fence. I want to know the real me. No more acts, I just
want some facts on the soul's real personality. But that news
confuses, misconstrues, and abuses. It blocks my view from what I
