Mariner Group, based in Marshfield, Massachusetts, USA, was a chain of weekly newspapers in the suburban South Shore near Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Founded in 1972 with one paper, the Marshfield Mariner, the group was sold in 1989 to Capital Cities/ABC and again in 1995 to Fidelity Investments, which dissolved it into Community Newspaper Company a few months later. Today, several of the Mariner papers still publish as part of CNC, now owned by GateHouse Media.
