BERLIN — The Berlin Reporter newspaper has ended a run of 125 years. The newspaper has been merged with the Coos County Democrat. Both papers are part of the group of 11 New Hampshire weekly papers owned by Salmon Press Newspapers LLC.
Subscribers to the Reporter are receiving the Coos County Democrat, which now includes news and press releases from the Berlin area. But local merchants said the Coos County Democrat is not being distributed to outlets in the Berlin area.
