The owner has associated the following topics to the website.

Topics
The Boston Globe Confidence: 87% Arrow up

The Boston Globe is an American daily newspaper based in Boston, Massachusetts.

Founded in 1872 by Charles H.

Taylor, it was privately held until 1973, when it went public as Affiliated Publications.

The company was acquired in 1993 by The New York Times Company; two years later Boston.com was established as the newspaper's online edition.

In 2011, a BostonGlobe.com subscription site was launched.

In 2013, the newspaper and websites were purchased by John W.

Henry, a businessman whose other holdings include the Boston Red Sox and Liverpool F.C.

New England Confidence: 74% Arrow up

New England is a geographical region comprising six states of the northeast United States: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

It is bordered by the state of New York to the west and south, and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Quebec to the northeast and north, respectively.

The Atlantic Ocean is to the east and southeast, and Long Island Sound is to the south.

Boston is its largest city.

Its largest metropolitan area is Greater Boston, which also includes Worcester (the second-largest city in New England), Manchester (the largest city in New Hampshire), and Providence (the capital and largest city of Rhode Island), with nearly a third of the entire region's population.

Breaking news Confidence: 69% Arrow up

Breaking news, interchangeably termed latebreaking news and also known as a special report or special coverage or news bulletin, is a current issue that broadcasters feel warrants the interruption of scheduled programming and/or current news in order to report its details.

Its use is also assigned to the most significant story of the moment or a story that is being covered live.

It could be a story that is simply of wide interest to viewers and has little impact otherwise.

Many times, breaking news is used after the news organization has already reported on the story.

When a story has not been reported on previously, the graphic and phrase "Just In" is sometimes used instead.
