The Conway Daily Sun is a six-day (Monday through Saturday) free daily newspaper published in the town of Conway, New Hampshire, U.S., covering the Mount Washington area. It has been published since 1989 by Country News Club, which also prints two other free Daily Sun tabloids in eastern New Hampshire.

Mark Guerringue and Adam Hirshan founded Country News Club. In early 2007, they were still serving as publisher and editor, respectively, of The Conway Daily Sun.

The Daily Sun circulates in several towns of Carroll County, New Hampshire, including Albany, Bartlett (including Glen), Conway (including Intervale and North Conway), Eaton, Freedom, Jackson, Madison (including Silver Lake), Moultonborough, Tamworth (including Chocorua), Ossipee and Wolfeboro; and two towns in Oxford County, Maine: Fryeburg and Lovell.[2]

A complete PDF of the newspaper is also available for free online; for an extra subscription fee, readers can even access the online version the night before the print edition is distributed. Online subscribers also have access to newspaper's stories on Web pages.

The Conway Daily Sun was the first United States daily to publish the popular numbers puzzle Sudoku.[3]

[edit] Sisters and competitors

Conway was Country News Club's first daily newspaper. It has since been joined by The Berlin Daily Sun. In 2000, two of the partners of Country News Club partnered with Ed Engler to launch The Laconia Daily Sun, in neighboring regions of New Hampshire. The Conway Daily Sun's Website is part of the company's regional portal, mountwashingtonvalley.com.

No other daily newspaper is based in Carroll County. Country News Club's closest competitor is The Citizen of Laconia.
