Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce Launches New Non-Profit Digital Newspaper
The Worcester Guardian will be a new, non-profit, digital newspaper. The Guardian is being launched by the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce. Chamber President and CEO Tim Murray spoke about what he sees as a news desert in the Central MA area. He talks specifically about the diminishing of the Telegram under the ownership of Gannett. Using the New Bedford Light as a model, Murray says the Guardian will focus on in-depth stories. Murray also talked about the firewall that will exist between the Guardian and Chamber and that it will eventually be spun off from the Chamber the way the WBDC and other, now, independent organizations were. Dave Nordman, former Executive Editor of the Telegram and Gazette has been brought aboard as a consultant and will be hiring reporters.

Radio Worcester Interviews Moe Bergman on Proposed In-Law Apartment Zoning Changes
City Councilor Moe Bergman has been a proponent of so called in-law apartments. Other communities have made zoning changes to allow them. BUT, he says what the city administration is proposing and which he opposes is different from someone adding space for family members to their home. He says what is proposed now is anyone who owns property can add up to two apartments for anyone to live in. He says this could really change the dynamics and stability of Worcester’s neighborhoods. Parking is also a concern.
