MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN BOSTON

Massachusetts' primary media market is defined by a traditional two-newspaper rivalry and a dense concentration of collegiate journalism produced by major local universities. The broadsheet Boston Globe stands as the dominant regional daily, competing directly with the smaller tabloid-format Boston Herald. Beyond these primary consumer dailies, the globally focused Christian Science Monitor operates its historic headquarters locally, while El Mundo Boston prints weekly editions for the region's Spanish-speaking readership. Paperboy lists 16 newspapers in Boston.
