Mission Statement:

South Boston Online is a community newspaper that reports weekly in print and online throughout the year on events that occur in South Boston, Massachusetts, the Boston Seaport and the city of Boston. From its inception in 1999 our goal has been to inform our readers in a manner that serves the South Boston community interests in a wide variety of endeavors.

While we routinely cover issues that impact our state and the nation, the primary focus is upon South Boston community events in our businesses, churches, city governance, educational resources, and local entertainments. South Boston Online is a privately owned, completely independent newspaper with a small dedicated staff who take pride in keeping the neighborhood informed and entertained.
