newspaper chains
Publishing company groups
A newspaper chain is a company that owns multiple newspapers, typically across different cities or regions.
The term emphasizes consolidated ownership: The chain acquired three more regional papers last year.
Chain newspapers often share content, reduce local staff, and centralize operations—practices critics argue diminish local journalism.
Also called newspaper groups.
