The beat, in English
City hall, schools, the harbor and the congregations of Lynn, Salem, Peabody and Revere. Written for readers who live there.
Clips added as they run. Bylines link to itemlive.com; earlier Russian-language work sits under Religion & Politics.
Council splits over the harbor development timeline
Two sessions, four hours, and a vote that moved nothing.
The district's newest arrivals speak eleven languages
How one Lynn elementary school staffs for it.
A parish pantry outlasts the grant that started it
Russian speakers on the North Shore find each other again
What the fishermen say the survey missed
Beat notes
The Item work is reported in English and grounded in the places where policy becomes ordinary life: a council chamber, a school hallway, a parish pantry, a harbor road.
