VISIT OUR POP-UP COMMUNITY NEWSSTAND IN CENTRAL SQUARE


We had an exciting few days of setting up our new and temporary shop of sorts in Cambridge this past week. As part of the Central Square Business Improvement District’s Popportunity Winter Market, we transformed a wooden storage container into something we are calling the BINJ Pop-Up Community Newsstand.

The concept is for it to be a media resource where people can learn about small and local outlets of all kinds—newspapers, blogs, community media centers—and support them in various ways. For starters, we asked friends and partners to give us their info and merch and papers to pass out. From there, we designed the installation as a safe and fun experience for one (or two, if you’re together) people at a time.

We’re sure the concept will evolve and we encourage you to follow our progress on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. In the meantime, you can get more information about the market here. We hope to see you in Central Square. We will be there every Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 5pm through Dec. 20.

If you are an independent outlet that wants in on the action, please contact us.

If you appreciate the work we are doing, please keep us going strong by making a tax-deductible donation to our IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit sponsor, the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism!

BINJ not only produces longform investigative stories that it syndicates for free to community news outlets around Massachusetts but also works with dozens of emerging journalists each year to help them learn their trade while providing quality reporting to the public at large.

Now in its 10th year, BINJ has produced hundreds of hard-hitting news articles—many of which have taken critical looks at corporations, government, and major nonprofits, shedding light where it’s needed most.

BINJ punches far above its weight on an undersized budget—managing to remain a player in local news through difficult times for journalism even as it continues to provide leadership at the regional and national levels of the nonprofit news industry.

With your help BINJ can grow to become a more stable operation for the long term and continue to provide Bay State residents more quality journalism for years to come.
