Sisters and competitors
Conway was the first free daily to be launched by Dave Danforth, Mark Guerringue and Adam Hirshan. It was joined a few years later by The Berlin Daily Sun. In 2000, Guerringue and Hirshan partnered with Ed Engler to launch The Laconia Daily Sun in the neighboring Lakes Region of New Hampshire. In 2009, Guerringue and Hirshan teamed with Curtis Robinson to start The Portland Daily Sun in Portland, Maine.
No other daily newspaper is based in Carroll County. Country News Club's closest competitor geographically is The Citizen of Laconia.
