The Concord Monitor is the lone heir to a capital city newspaper tradition that dates from 1808. Through the years there have been about 10 other Concord daily newspapers, but only the Monitor survives. Although it has been published under several different names and owners, the Monitor has been published continuously since 1864 - the last year before the end of the Civil War.

Our mission is to provide central New Hampshire residents with an informative, accurate and essential newspaper and Online edition, produced with the highest possible quality. The Monitor has been widely recognized throughout the industry as one of the best newspapers in the nation in its circulation category. TIME magazine recently named it one of America's "best" newspapers.

Above all, we are committed to our readers. A community newspaper belongs to the community and we believe the Concord Monitor and the Concord Monitor Online edition are conduits for discussion and dialogue concerning important issues we face together.
