Loading ...In Groton, Massachusetts, The Groton Line, its sister email list, Talk About Groton, and the Talk About Groton Community Calendar, deliver Community Supported Journalism to the town.
News stories appear on our hyperlocal news site, The Groton Line. Discussions usually take place on the Talk About Groton email list. And community events are listed on the Talk About Groton Community Calendar.
All our services are free and open to everyone. But they do cost money to operate.
What is Community Supported Journalism?
Community Supported Journalism is a relatively new idea spurred by the decline of newspapers of all types. Just as food from the farm stand usually tastes better than produce hauled in by supermarket chains, we think that the best journalism is local and supported by the community it covers. In essence, it is providing local media that concentrates on local events, people, and issues. We feel that an information is the fuel on which a democracy runs, and we want to keep Groton running both smoothly and at a healthy clip.

All our services are free and open to everyone. But they do cost money to operate. The Groton Line and the Talk About Groton email list and calendar are supported by individual membership subscription from people in the community, and by a limited amount of advertising.
We’d like to incorporate as a 501(c)(3) so that we may directly apply for grants and solicit tax-deductible sponsorships and contributions, but there’s only so much time and money to go around (If you’re an attorney who would consider helping out, please get in touch.). Our first priority is and always will be tracking down information and producing the news Groton needs. We’ll get there.
Please help support community journalism and discussion in Groton.
