MIDDLEBORO REVIEW AND SO ON

March 03, 2026  Dear Reader, Today we’re pleased to share CommonWealth Beacon’s 2025 Impact Report, a snapshot of the journalism and community engagement that defined our year. In 2025, our newsroom committed to deeper, more comprehensive reporting from communities across Massachusetts. From coverage of how a hospital maternity unit closure reshaped daily life in Central Massachusetts to in-depth reporting on housing, climate, and local economic development, our focus was clear: explain how policy decisions affect people in cities and towns across the state. Read our 2025 Impact Report The report includes key milestones and growth metrics, but the real impact shows up in the responses we heard from readers. Time and again, our stories sparked conversation, elevated overlooked issues, and helped communities better understand the challenges they face. As we mark our 30th anniversary, this work feels especially important. We’re proud to carry forward a legacy of independent, nonpartisan journalism that informs the public and strengthens civic life across the Commonwealth.  We hope you’ll take a few minutes to explore the report and see what your readership makes possible.  Thank you for being part of our community. Sincerely, Laura Colarusso Editor Joe Kriesberg CEO & Publisher DONATE 11 Beacon St., Suite 500 Boston, MA 02108
