For Mary Ann and Stan Blackmur, the 25th anniversary of The South Shore Magazine marks more than just a milestone for their publication — it reflects a deep, ongoing commitment to the South Shore communities they serve. From Milton to Plymouth, including Hingham, the Blackmurs have built a publication that not only thrives in a time when print media is in decline but also embodies the values of community engagement, local business support, and integrity.

The South Shore Magazine, which is available in both print and digital formats, continues to be a staple in the region. In an era where many publications have struggled due to high printing costs and the rise of digital media, the Blackmurs have successfully maintained a publication that serves as a resource for local news, business highlights, and community information. The magazine is not part of a larger publishing group, which gives it the flexibility to adapt and cater directly to the needs of the South Shore.
