BostonNOW is a discontinued free daily newspaper that was distributed inBoston, combining both traditional and web journalism.
BostonNOW offered information in print, online and mobile. The newspaper was targeted towards commuters rather than residences; it was widely distributed at keyMBTA subway stations. The tabloid held daily polls, contests, and a "Treasure Hunt" contest, and relied heavily on bloggers for content.
The newspaper's main competition was the similarly distributedBoston Metro.
Newspaper publisherRussel Pergament returned to Boston and launchedBoston Now as a free daily newspaper backed by Icelandic conglomerate Dagsbrun on April 17, 2007. Pergament described Boston Now as breaking news in addition to carrying news wire content.[1] Pergament shut down Boston Now on April 14, 2008, due to tumult in foreign credit markets.[2]
