20/2018 VISION: REVISITING OUR AWESOME HELLISH YEAR ONE FINAL TIME

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted December 26, 2018 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Dear Reader, NEWS+OPINIONS

No outlet can cover everything. It’s not worth trying. But in reading back through several hundred pieces that we published in the past 12 months, I’m more than satisfied to say that we hit hard and often on a range of topics

’18 AND LIFE TO GO: OUR YEAR IN ALTERNATIVE MASS MEDIA

Written by DIG STAFF Posted December 19, 2018 Filed Under: Analysis, Media Farm, News, NEWS+OPINIONS

It’s anybody’s guess why cheeseball mainstream outlets tend to ignore topics such as poverty, surveillance, and climate change. Whatever the reason, we don’t spend too much time worrying about them; as you’ll see below, we had our hands full all year covering the stuff that they missed.

DRINKING WITH THE MERRIMACK VALLEY RECOVERY WORKERS WHO LIVE ON AN OLD CRUISE SHIP IN SOUTHIE

Written by DANIEL KAUFMAN Posted November 7, 2018 Filed Under: News, NEWS+OPINIONS

Overall, these cruise ship tenants seem exhausted, both physically and emotionally. There are perks, and decent pay, but there are also sleepless nights and more work the next morning. Not to mention what they call a shitty breakfast buffet.

HERE’S WHY WE’RE COMMITTED TO LONG-TERM COVERAGE OF THE MERRIMACK EXPLOSIONS

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted September 19, 2018 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Dear Reader, News, NEWS+OPINIONS

Columbia has spent in excess of half a million dollars lobbying in Mass over the past five years, while execs at Eversource, which Baker tapped to save the day, have pumped more than $40,000 into Baker and Polito’s war chests since 2015.

THE MERRIMACK VALLEY DISASTER: IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT OLD PIPES

Written by JASON PRAMAS Posted September 18, 2018 Filed Under: Apparent Horizon, COLUMNS, NEWS+OPINIONS

 

The events of last week in the Merrimack Valley were unfortunate by any measure. Something bad happened to the natural gas distribution system in parts of Lawrence, North Andover, and Andover that resulted in dozens of homes being damaged or destroyed by explosions ...  read more
