New England Ethnic Newswire

Full disclosure: I do some part-​time work for the newswire.
Regardless, it’s a cool and useful site
Any consumer of news ought to expose him/​herself to a variety of perspectives. This website makes that effort easier — aggregating news from New England’s ethnic media and putting it all in one place.
Unlike the big papers, the people who run and write for these publications actually spend time in the communities they cover.
The site’s data base matches ethnic groups with publications catering to those populations and is a really good resource for recent immigrants or anyone new to the area.
The newswire is a non-​profit, it’s only been around for about a year, and is run completely by a part-​time staff. Although it’s still in the upstart stages, plans are underway to support local broadcast and print publications in Boston and beyond with staff education, training, networking and workshop opportunities, as well as free original content.
The more traffic on the site, the more resources the newswire has access to — so taking a look is a good way to not only support the newswire and keep abreast of whats going on locally, but also to help ensure that small community newspapers maintain a presence in a climate dominated by giant media conglomerates.
Only 4 stars because the site is about to be upgraded.
