HippoPress is the publisher of the free weekly newspaper Hippo, based in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Hippo, which is independently owned by Jody Reese, Jeff Rapsis and Dan Szczesny, started in January 2001.
QOL Distribution circulates publications throughout New Hampshire, Maine and Massachusetts.
In 2010, Hippo launched Seacoast Hippo, a free weekly distributed from mid June through mid September, to cover arts, entertainment and events in the Seacoast region of southern Maine, New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts.
[citation needed] The Hippo's parent company, Quality of Life Publication, began some other publications that later folded: a free weekday newspaper in Manchester called the Manchester Daily Express; The Oxx, a semi-weekly circular geared towards males that in the summer of 2007 was turned into a monthly called OxxCycle, covering the state's motorcycling scene, that in 2009 was converted to a semi-yearly glossy magazine before shutting.
