For over two decades, I have worked in Boston media. I have seen our city flourish. I have seen it struggle. I have seen how deeply the issues of faith, family, and freedom matter to the people of Massachusetts.

Through it all, one conviction has never changed.

Independent journalism matters. Especially now.

Today, I am excited to share that NewBostonPost is entering one of the most important chapters in its history. This is not simply an update. It is a turning point.

And I want you to be part of it.

Welcoming Our New Editor-in-Chief

It is my honor to announce that Tom Joyce has been named editor-in-chief of NewBostonPost.

Tom has long been a trusted and respected voice within our newsroom. As a writer, columnist, and associate editor, he has demonstrated clarity, professionalism, and deep commitment to our mission.

He understands our responsibility. He understands our readers. And he understands what it means to lead with integrity in a media environment that often drifts from it.

Under Tom’s leadership, we are not retreating. We are expanding.

Welcoming Stephanie Rasmuson and Launching Spotlight

We are also thrilled to welcome Stephanie Rasmuson to our team as a lead reporter covering arts, entertainment, and community life across New England.

Stephanie will help lead a powerful new section called Spotlight.

Spotlight will include:

• Spotlight Q&A introducing the people shaping our communities
• Expanded Arts & Entertainment coverage across Boston and New England
• Beacon Hill Whisperer written by Grace Christiano

We are investing in culture, community, and stories that connect rather than divide.

What Is Coming Next

In the weeks ahead, we will launch:

• Candidates’ Corner featuring direct interviews with gubernatorial candidates
• The Abigail AI Blog, offering thoughtful commentary rooted in New England tradition
• Additional writers and expanded reporting across Massachusetts

This is growth with purpose.

Why This Moment Matters

Here is the truth.

Independent journalism cannot grow without reader support.

We are privately funded. We do not answer to corporate media ownership. We do not take direction from national political machinery.

We answer to our mission. And to you.

As we expand our newsroom and invest in new initiatives, we are inviting those who believe in principled journalism to stand with us.

If you have ever valued an article we published
If you have ever shared a story with a friend
If you believe New England deserves strong independent media

Now is the moment to act.
