Somerville Wire

The Somerville Wire—an initiative of the Somerville News Garden project of the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism—is a web-based news service covering Somerville, Massachusetts. Its content is produced by professional journalists, area residents trained as journalists at SNG’s Neighborhood Media School, and Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism and DigBoston interns. All articles published on the Wire are available for republishing by other community news outlets for free—and by larger commercial news outlets for a fee. Interested news outlets can contact us at somervillewire@binjonline.org

The public at large has free access to all Wire articles here at somervillewire.news.
