The Fairhaven Advocate is a community newspaper serving the communities of Acushnet, Massachusetts and Fairhaven, Massachusetts, United States. Introduced in 1979, it was later operated by local newspaper company Hathaway Publishing, owned by Local Media Group.

## History

[edit]

In 1979, Gil Vieira first began publishing The Advocate, a weekly newspaper dedicated to the interests of Fairhaven.

Dana Reeves was editor in the mid-1980s.[1]

In the quarter century that has passed since the newspaper first hit stands, the publication grew to cover the town of Acushnet in addition to Fairhaven. Since the late 1990s The Advocate has been printed by Hathaway Publishing, now a division of South Coast Media Group.

As of 1997, it had a circulation of 2,200.[2]
