Suburban Life Media is a Downers Grove, Illinois-based publisher of 20 weekly newspapers in Chicago's western and northern suburbs.
Upon acquisition, Shaw Media moved some of the Suburban Life newspapers to other units.
The three "Republican" newspapers moved under the Kane County Chronicle editorial umbrella.
Under Shaw Media ownership, Suburban Life Media introduced the Suburban Life magazine, which followed the similar format and basic template as Shaw Media's Lake County, McHenry County and Kane County magazines.
In October 2013, Shaw Media revamped the Suburban Life newspapers that haven't been moved to other publishers.
