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 interns. All articles published on the Wire are available for use by other Somerville-based news outlets for free—and by news outlets outside Somerville for a nominal fee. The public at large has free access to all Wire articles here at somervillewire.org.
