Acton Beacon
Acton Beacon is a newspaper in Acton, Massachusetts, USA covering local news, sports, business, jobs, and community events.
The newspaper is published once a week on Thursday.
The Beacon was founded in the 1940s. It was, for a time, known as the Assabet Valley Beacon. The newspaper eventually grew to cover the towns of Acton, Boxborough, Maynard and Stow, just west of Concord, Massachusetts. Over time, The Beacon's publishers acquired other weeklies in neighboring towns, including titles as far east as Lexington and Burlington. The company's last independent owners were Joseph V. Stuart and Robert E. Anderson, who sold the papers in 1984 to the owners of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette. The Beacon was bought by Fidelity Investments in 1993 and incorporated into Community Newspaper Company, Massachusetts' largest weekly newspaper publisher, now owned by GateHouse Media.
Circulation: 3,239 copies
