Sister paper

A sister paper is one of two or more newspapers which share a common owner, but are published with different content, different names, and sometimes (but not necessarily) in different geographical areas.

[1] Such an arrangement can offer economies of scale because staff and infrastructure can be shared.

[2] Formerly independent papers can become sister papers, as when the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post were both purchased by News Corporation.

Conversely, a single newspaper company can start several publications.
