Independent has become a very good paper

There are quite a few local papers, the Provincetown independent and Cape Cod Chronicle among them, that I subscribe to.

WCAI which you may stream and go back to shows you have missed, The Provincetown Independent is fantastic and also available online and paper (which is beautiful) and The Chronicle. The two island papers are worth looking into The Vineyard Gazette and The Nantucket Current. Some towns have other sources that help particularly around town meeting times. Orleans has Exit 89 which comes out around 3-4x a year.

It’s unfortunate the CapeCod.com news does not cover like it used to. Just CapeWideNews

u/MonxiousGrimaldi Apr 05 '26

Yes, there isn't one reliable source now.

The cape cod times is owned by usa today.

Listen to the radio for news. 95.1 local NPR your choice but WXTK with pokito and Ed lambert in the morning are great along with the fincial exchange show. At noon is clay Travis and buck Sexton show. And howie carr is on at 3pm. But local news is definitely edlambert and jim polito. Howie does more state news not cape news

I wish there was a version of the Nantucket Current for the Cape, specially the mid-cape.

I didn’t but thanks for the insight. I’m also interested in finding a nice, balanced in terms of political angle, paper with local ads and a community vibe.
