Massachusetts-based independent community news outlets are also encouraged to syndicate their news articles to other outlets on MassWire free-of-charge and offer them to other independent community news outlets for free and to larger commercial news outlets and chains for a fee. Interested independent community news outlets and commercial news outlets and chains can contact us at masswire@binjonline.org for more information about MassWire services.

The public at large has free access to all MassWire articles here at masswire.news.
