The Somerville News is an independent community newspaper serving the city of Somerville. A print edition is published weekly on Wednesdays (look for their news boxes throughout the city). An online version is also available on their website. Print circulation is over 9,500. The paper reported in May 2010 that website hits were averaging 500 per day.
Beyond reporting on the community, the paper also engages it by hosting comedy and poetry nights as well as an annual writers festival held in November.
In fall 2009, the paper launched Cambridge News Weekly, an online news site for Cambridge, MA, that will eventually also be published in a print edition. The paper reported in June 2010 that it would soon expand into Medford as well.
