Eagle Newspapers is company that publishes five community newspapers and several niche publications serving Syracuse, New York and Central New York.
In 1993, Eagle Newspapers formed when the Brown Newspapers in Baldwinsville and Manlius Publishing Co. in Fayetteville merged. In 1998, the company purchased Spotlight Newspapers in Albany, a group of 10 suburban weeklies.
In 2009, John McIntyre, David Tyler and Daniel Alexander formed Community Media Group, LLC. to buy the Spotlight and Eagle Newspaper chains.
In 2012, Eagle Newspapers laid off two reporters and closed The Eagle CNY. That same year, the company switched from from paid subscriptions to free home delivery. In 2025, Community Media Group sold Eagle News Group to Sample News Group. In 2026, the company started charging for home delivery and digital access. At that time the total circulation of its five papers was 21,000.
