The mission of the Somerville Free Press is to be a reliable source for local news and information and to provide a moderated forum where residents can express their views. At the Somerville Free Press, we believe that the values that the people of our city share — our long-term commitment to education, social and economic justice, good government and civic engagement — are more important than our differences of opinions. Without fear, without favor and in fellowship, we here at the Somerville Free Press seek to serve our communities.
