Northampton Media was founded in September of 2009, just in time to cover a contentious local election. The idea was founded at the Haymarket Cafe over a series of discussions that involved a moving collection of new media creators and bloggers, including Paolo Mastrangelo, Mike Kirby, Adam Cohen, Bill Densmore, and others. A road trip to New Haven to meet with Paul Bass, founder of the New Haven Independent, served as an inspiration to create a local news site that focuses on news from Northampton, Massachusetts.
Startup funding for web development was made possible by a grant from Adam Cohen. Paul Bass offered NM 501©(3) fiscal sponsorship through the Online Journalism Project. Serreze, working with SmartPill Design in New Haven, launched the enterprise. Serreze, as publisher and editor of the site, is fully responsible for all content and maintains fierce editorial independence from all financial donors, sponsors, and advertisers.
In December of 2009, NM broadened its base of support by asking for individual donations from a diverse collection of local news fans. Thanks to dozens of people who sent donations, we’ve been able to retain the services of Easthampton-based web developer April Francis. We’ll be relaunching soon with an exciting new site template that will support custom advertising solutions.
Northampton Media is a web-based news organization publishing at http://www.northamptonmedia.com. We endeavor to provide a one-stop-shopping location for fans of Northampton-centric news, and feature original reporting as well as links to the best content being produced by a host of local and regional media outlets. We’ll stick to the issues, refrain from personal attack, and get both sides of the story.
We believe in the nimble, street-level approach to collecting the news—no cubicles here. Using simple tools—cameras, audio recorders, and laptops—we’re building a low-overhead, high-energy, 21st-century news organization.
