Inside Methuen exists because of the time, effort, and care of people who believe this city deserves clear, factual, community-centered local news.

​

This project is not powered by a newsroom, a corporation, a political machine, or deep pockets. It’s powered by residents... neighbors who read agendas, attend meetings, ask questions, check sources, and take the time to explain what’s happening so others don’t have to dig through pages of paperwork or hours of video.

​

Every contributor brings a different perspective, skill set, and voice. Some write. Some research. Some help explain complex issues in plain language. All of them share a common goal: helping Methuen residents stay informed and engaged in the decisions that affect their schools, neighborhoods, taxes, and future.

​

Inside Methuen only works when people participate.

​

If you’ve ever wondered “Why isn’t anyone explaining this?” ... that might be your cue to help. Whether you want to write, contribute data, flag an issue that needs attention, or simply engage by sharing and discussing what’s published here, there’s room for you.

Local democracy works best when more people are paying attention.

This page recognizes the people who make that possible ... and invites you to be one of them.
