Somerville Journal moving out of Somerville

The Somerville Journal is closing its Somerville office and moving its operations to Danvers, according to local media writer Dan Kennedy.

The Journal and the Cambridge Chronicle have always been sister publications, but no longer: the Cambridge Chronicle's office is moving to Lexington.

How well can you cover the city when you're not in or even near the city?

The Journal's current office is on Central Street, on the side of the Cuisine en Locale (Anthony's) building. I can recall at least three other offices during my time here: Summer Street across from the VFW (in a building that still has "Dole Publishing" engraved on the wall), the Social Security Building, and the Harvard Vanguard medical building. Long ago I'm told they were located on Elm Street where Ace Wheel Works is today.

This does make me sad. I think this is an important function for our society.

But I'm just as guilty for not supporting them. I read online, and was just throwing the paper version right into the recycling bucket each week, so I stopped subscribing.
