ABOUT US
Boston Compass Newspaper is an artist-run, multifaceted media collective serving the Greater Boston area since 2010. By focusing on local music, art, activism, and identity, BCN commits itself to making Boston and its surroundings a better place for artists and humanity at large.
Our collective takes many forms. Check them out!
BCN’s mission is to put power back in the hands of the people by providing opportunities for self-expression and subversive discourse. As an artist-run, community-based publication, we act as a platform for non-commercial, undervalued artists and organizations, especially BIPOC, ALAANA+ LGTBQIA+ lives. BCN aims to uplift the voices of those often left behind by capitalist ideals and authority, fostering a resilient media landscape that prioritizes people over profit.
NEWSPAPER
A free 8-page arts & culture publication produced monthly by over 60 volunteers and distributed to community spaces and street boxes across Greater Boston. The artists that fill the pages are dedicated to forward-thinking journalistic and creative writing endeavors, and honest self-expression that keeps DIY and zine media alive.
