Founded in 2002, The Montague Reporter is a local independent weekly community print newspaper, published on Thursdays.
The Reporter started as a small grassroots endeavor in late 2002, and has since grown to be a pillar of the community. With an estimated 2,000+ readers and store-located sales, our paper provides an important community service.
We are a non-profit organization, supported by and operating for the benefit of the communities we cover: the five villages of Montague, and the towns of Erving, Gill, Leverett, and Wendell.
Headed by a volunteer board of directors, and run by a mixed volunteer and freelance staff, the Reporter provides news, arts and feature coverage to nine villages and towns in Western Massachusetts – proud communities with a vibrant history and engaged citizens.
