Most of its readers are in Attleboro and North Attleborough, Massachusetts, but it also covers nearby Foxborough, Mansfield, Norfolk, Norton, Plainville, Rehoboth, Seekonk, and Wrentham, Massachusetts, as well as North Eastern Rhode Island.
In February 2005, The Sun Chronicle began publishing in the morning after decades as an afternoon newspaper.
Martin ran the Chronicle for six decades, and gave North Attleboro a reputation for conservatism.
The Attleboro Sun, for its part, was sold by a group of local businessmen in 1906 to John S. Vallette, an advertising salesman for The Providence Journal.
Vallette expanded the newspaper's reach, and pushed for Attleboro to adopt a city form of government, which it did in 1914.
Roberts remained with the paper for about half a century, in later years contributing columns from Florida.
Meanwhile, Joe Martin died in 1968, and two years later his brother sold the Chronicle to United Communications, too.
"[4] DeVany and General Manager Paul A. Rixon modernized the new Sun Chronicle, expanded its facilities, and boosted its circulation.
Rixon retired in 1998, and was replaced as publisher by General Manager Oreste P. D'Arconte, who had joined The Attleboro Sun as a reporter in 1969.
[6] As of June 2007 The Sun Chronicle's circulation was growing - though that trend reversed in the following years - while its website averaged 11,000 visitors a day in the first half of 2007.
