New Hampshire Business Review is a weekly business newspaper based in Manchester, New Hampshire, covering commerce, finance, industry, and public policy in the state. Launched in the late 20th century, the paper has chronicled developments across sectors including healthcare, technology, manufacturing, real estate, and tourism, while reporting on leadership at regional institutions, universities, and corporations. Its audience includes executives, entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and nonprofit leaders across New England and beyond.
Founded in the late 1970s, the publication emerged amid shifts in regional media that included the consolidation of newspapers and the growth of specialized trade journalism. Early coverage tracked corporate moves by firms headquartered in Manchester and Nashua and chronicled expansions at institutions such as Dartmouth College, Saint Anselm College, University of New Hampshire, and health systems like Elliot Hospital and Catholic Medical Center. The paper reported on economic shifts tied to companies such as Boeing, Timken, Textron, and regional manufacturers, while following policy debates involving the New Hampshire General Court and gubernatorial administrations. Over decades it documented events that affected commerce in New Hampshire including regional elections, infrastructure projects near Manchester–Boston Regional Airport, and developments tied to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and Pease Tradeport.
Ownership has changed hands through private media companies and investment groups that manage regional titles. Management structures connected the title to publishers and executives experienced with other New England outlets, including ties to firms that have overseen publications like Concord Monitor, Portsmouth Herald, Foster's Daily Democrat, and national chains such as GateHouse Media and Gannett. Senior editors and publishers have included professionals with backgrounds at business and financial publications who previously worked for organizations like Forbes, Bloomberg L.P., The Wall Street Journal, and BusinessWeek. Board-level and advisory relationships have at times intersected with leaders from New Hampshire Business Finance Authority, regional chambers such as the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, and economic development entities tied to municipalities including Manchester, New Hampshire, Nashua, New Hampshire, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Editorially the paper focuses on reporting, analysis, and opinion about corporate governance, venture capital, small business operations, mergers and acquisitions, real estate development, and workforce trends. Regular beats have covered healthcare systems like Southern New Hampshire Health System, technology clusters associated with Saint-Gobain, defense contractors with ties to Raytheon Technologies, and financial institutions including Bank of New Hampshire and regional offices of Bank of America. Feature series have examined startups connected to incubators and accelerators at SNHU (Southern New Hampshire University), commercialization activities at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, and tourism impacts tied to destinations such as Mount Washington and Lake Winnipesaukee. Opinion pages have hosted contributors from think tanks like the Rockefeller Institute, legal firms with offices in Manchester, and leaders from trade associations including the New Hampshire Lodging and Restaurant Association.
The paper’s print circulation has targeted business subscribers, corporate offices, law firms, real estate agencies, and public officials across New Hampshire counties such as Hillsborough County (New Hampshire), Rockingham County, New Hampshire, Strafford County, New Hampshire, and Merrimack County, New Hampshire. Distribution channels have included direct sales, institutional bulk subscriptions to corporations like Baxter International affiliates and colleges, and placement in business centers and airports including Manchester–Boston Regional Airport. Advertising partnerships have connected the paper with chambers of commerce, regional trade shows such as Maritime Expo-style events, and conferences hosted by organizations like New Hampshire Business Committee for the Arts.
The publication developed an online platform to complement print, offering daily headlines, newsletters, searchable archives, and multimedia content aimed at professionals using services from providers like Mailchimp and analytics from firms akin to Google Analytics. The site has published breaking coverage of corporate filings, licensing decisions at agencies such as the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, and market-moving announcements from employers like Timken and Performance Food Group. Social media engagement has linked stories to audiences through networks anchored by LinkedIn, Twitter, and content-sharing partnerships with regional blogs and broadcast partners including WMUR-TV and public radio stations like WEVO.
Reporting and investigative series have received recognition from regional journalism organizations including state press associations and awards that also honor work published in outlets such as Concord Monitor, Boston Globe, and Portland Press Herald. Individual journalists and editors associated with the paper have been finalists or winners in contests administered by groups like the New England Newspaper and Press Association and have competed with peers from USA Today Network and NPR member stations for enterprise reporting, investigative journalism, and business feature awards.
The publication has influenced public debate and business decision-making by profiling CEOs, chronicling expansions and layoffs at employers like Bose Corporation (regional retail ties), covering policy changes affecting taxation debated in the New Hampshire House of Representatives, and spotlighting venture funding rounds for startups emerging from incubators affiliated with University of New Hampshire. Its role as a convenor for roundtables, awards programs, and lists—such as rankings of CEOs, fastest-growing companies, and top law firms—has made it a resource for networking among leaders from institutions like Liberty Mutual, Market Basket, DEKA Research & Development Corporation, and regional nonprofit funders.
