The Boston Globe

Local news with a wider view

The Boston Globe is a news app for readers who want reporting from Boston and across New England, along with national coverage and updates on politics, business, arts, travel, culture, and sports. It suits anyone who follows the region closely, whether they live in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, or elsewhere.

What you can read and watch

The app brings together breaking news, investigative reporting, opinion, analysis, and longer features from The Boston Globe newsroom. Coverage includes local stories from the Globe, Globe New Hampshire, and Globe Rhode Island, plus Boston sports and magazine features. Video content, including Boston Globe Today, adds another way to follow the main stories and the context around them.

• Follow reporting from the Spotlight Team.
• Read columns, editorials, and analysis from Globe writers.
• Browse local, national, and specialist coverage in one app.
• Watch video reports that go beyond the headline.

Useful tools for regular readers

Notifications can be adjusted around the subjects you care about, so alerts do not have to cover everything the newsroom publishes. Articles can be saved for later reading, including when your device is offline. In-app comments also let readers respond to stories and take part in discussion around the coverage.

Our take

This is a focused choice for readers who want a dependable Boston and New England news source rather than a general headline feed. The app has a 4.50 rating from 998 reviews and has recorded 50,000+ installs. It is published by Boston Globe Media Partners, LLC in the News & Magazines category.
