The Boston
Globe is expanding its Rhode Island
coverage, the paper says.
Three Providence journalists
are now officially a remote part of the Globe’s newsroom, Nieman Lab reports.
“We saw
opportunity in Rhode Island
where quite honestly great newspapers like the Providence Journal were seeing
significant cuts and that market is particularly engaged in news. We saw the
opportunity to create a digital regional enterprise by heading down there and
hiring local reporters,” Globe editor Brian McGrory said, according to Nieman
Lab.
“The
intention of the Globe, and definitely my intention, is to tell more of the (Rhode Island ) stories
and tell different stories. It’s not to hurt the Journal,” said Amanda
Milkovits, according to Nieman Lab. She is one of the journalists tasked with
covering Rhode Island
for The Globe. Milkovits was with the Providence Journal for nearly 20 years,
according to Nieman Lab.
