The Somerville Wire—a former initiative of the Somerville News Garden project of the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism—is a web-based news service covering Somerville, Massachusetts that is now sponsored by the Somerville Media Fund, an independent municipal journalism foundation that is also a former SNG/BINJ initiative.
This page is an archive of all articles produced by the Wire when it was run by BINJ.
The new incarnation of the Somerville Wire can now be found at somervillewire.news.
