Your trusted source for community news
Did you know that between one third to half of all United States newspapers have disappeared in the last 20 years? This alarming trend means we’re losing an essential piece of civic engagement — the kind of news that brings us together instead of tearing us further apart.
While researching this topic for a presentation at the Metrocrest Chamber of Commerce, I came across important studies by the Pew Research Group and the University of North Carolina’s Hussman School of Journalism.
These studies highlight how much local news helps foster strong, connected communities. At the Branch Herald, we’re passionate about keeping that spirit alive — delivering the stories that matter most to you. Because we believe local news helps unite us in a way that big media cannot.
