Hyperlocal Media Now More than Ever
*

SMC’s ongoing efforts to meet the needs of the community at this trying time includes providing regular hyperlocal news coverage and collaborating with organizations to best meet their media needs. In addition to regular updates with State Delegation, City Council, Local Businesses and the School Committee, we’ve also provided full coverage of three local Black Lives Matter rallies and co-produced candidate forums ahead of the September primary election. Watch and be inspired to reach out to us and help us to keep Somerville informed, safe and engaged. Here are some their newest videos:
