After reading the article in today’s Boston Globe about the yoga disputes I had a look at their Newton page.

A few years back, the Boston Globe made a concerted effort to up it’s coverage of all things Newton and now has a Newton page in the on-line Globe and a Newton specific email newsletter.  They partnered with Boston University’s School of Journalism and since then a combination of BU students and Globe staff have vastly expanded their Newton coverage.

For those who lament the Tab’s greatly reduced coverage of local news in recent years, consider signing up for the Boston Globe and lend some support for local Newton news coverage,

Here’s a sampling of what’s on the Newton page today:

  • Newtonians take initiative to clean up their city
  • Newton begins building of temporary replacement of destroyed Ablemarle Foortbridge
  • COVID-19 testing, district goals are focus of Newton School Committee
  • Newton City Council approves life sciences for Riverside mixed-use development
  • ‘Newton Hires offers cash bonuses for jobless, under-employed workers to fill part time jobs
  • Newton considers more than $1 million in athletic field improvements
  • Newton launching study to help guide use of American Rescue Plan funds
  • Newton talks about rats and how to reduce them
  • Newton mayor designating $125,000 in federal COVID funds for local arts
