The
Hartford Courant announced plans Tuesday to sell the
Valley Advocate, an alt-weekly covering western Massachusetts, to Newspapers of New England Inc., which owns newspapers in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
Editor & Publisher reports that the sale lets the
Courant focus its attention on its properties in Connecticut. The
Advocate will continue to share content and do cross-market sales with the remaining alt-weeklies the
Courant purchased in 1999 from New Mass. Media: the
Hartford Advocate, the
New Haven Advocate and
Fairfield County Weekly. The sale is expected to close later this month; terms of the deal were not disclosed.
