Hingham Journal

I love local newspapers because of the insight they usually give about whatever town you might be in. Here in Hingham we have the Journal which I think is a top-​notch weekly paper. I look forward to it’s arrival in the mail on Thursdays.
I especially enjoy settling down with it at night to get the latest town news as well as info about new stores, restaurants, local events, real estate for sale and who recently bought which house along with all the other human interest stories that make for a good community feeling.
All letters to the editor are encouraged, gratefully accepted and published.
If you have an article you’d like to write espousing an opinion or a commentary on some town issue that you’re passionate about, you’re welcome to submit it for publication. My husband wrote one a few years ago that made for some lively debate in the newspaper over the ensuing weeks.
Some grass-​roots community initiatives get started with an article in the Hingham Journal.
One of my favorite sections each week is the page where they print snippets of articles from years past, some as long ago as 100 years. It’s a fun way to see what was going on here way back when. The newspaper was founded in 1827 so there is a lot of history contained in those archives.
This paper is popular here and is a valued resource. When we first moved to Hingham, the paper helped give us a feel for the town, the people who live here and what’s going on week in and week out.
Newspapers, as we all know, are sadly falling by the wayside but I can’t imagine not subscribing to this local gem and supporting its continuation. You can read it on-​line too but I love thumbing through the real paper deal.
Good job Hingham Journal reporters!
