For a lot of heavy readers, the best part of a holiday vacation can be sitting down with a long read. And while most journalism organizations are no longer going the distance, BINJ still takes a lot of pride in dropping features that require some spare time to explore.

If you have a full day on the couch in your future, then we highly recommend Nate Homan’s piece on an infamous West African warlord’s Bay State jailbreak. If you’re looking to kill half-an-hour here and there, check out some of the features below …

The Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism produces bold independent journalism for Greater Boston and beyond.
Since 2015, BINJ has been producing hard-hitting news and analysis focusing on housing, criminal justice, the environment, government malfeasance, corporate corruption—and shedding light wherever it’s needed.

We work with some of the most experienced reporters in Greater Boston, and we also train dozens of emerging journalists each year to help them learn critical skills while providing quality reporting to our audience.

BINJ not only produces important stories; we also share our work for free with other community news outlets around Massachusetts, while organizing and leading at the regional and national levels of the nonprofit news industry.

We collaborate with other community publications and engage the public in civic educational initiatives

If you appreciate the work we are doing, please help us continue by making a tax-deductible donation today! With your support, BINJ can continue to provide more high-quality local journalism for years to come.
