MassWire—a project of the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism—is a web-based news service covering the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. All BINJ articles published on the Wire are available for republishing by independent community news outlets (with budgets of under $2 million per year) for free—and by larger commercial news outlets and chains for a fee. Massachusetts-based independent community news outlets are also encouraged to syndicate their news articles to other outlets on MassWire free-of-charge and offer them to other independent community news outlets for free and to larger commercial news outlets and chains for a fee. Interested independent community news outlets and commercial news outlets and chains can contact us at masswire@binj.news for more information about MassWire services.
The public at large has free access to all MassWire articles here at masswire.news.
