THE STORY: After a 36-year run, The Daily News Transcript published its last issue on Friday, Sept. 25. But its longstanding name lives on with the Dedham Transcript. In August the Transcript’s parent company, GateHouse Media, said the change allows for deeper, more focused coverage of the town.
The Transcript has a long history in Dedham, where the newspaper was founded in 1870 as the Dedham Transcript. The Daily Transcript was formed in 1973 from the merger of several local weeklies. It was a broadsheet until the early 1990s when it was converted to a tabloid. In 1999, the newspaper returned to a broadsheet and changed its name to the Neponset Valley Daily News before its final change in 2002 to The Daily News Transcript.
