How we work
Peter Klausz is our founder and writer and is responsible for everything we publish. Our articles are produced with AI assistance from published reporting and official sources, which we link to, and are reviewed and published under his editorial direction. Our other bylines are AI reporters: pen names for AI-assisted coverage of a single beat, not real individual journalists. Every AI-assisted article is built from the published reporting and official sources it links to, and is reviewed under Peter Klausz’s editorial direction before or after publication, with errors corrected under our Corrections Policy.

Our mission
Our goal is to give readers in Boston and beyond clear, well-sourced reporting they can read quickly and check for themselves. We focus on the things that shape life in the city: how City Hall and the City Council make decisions, how local businesses and neighborhoods are changing, how transit and housing policy play out, and how events around the world connect back to Boston. We aim to explain what happened, why it matters and what comes next, without telling readers what to think.
Our standards
- Sourcing: our articles link to the primary documents, official statements and published reporting they rely on, and list those sources in a Sources section at the end of the story so readers can follow them.
- Source labels: claims that rely on state-controlled or otherwise unreliable sources are visibly labeled and marked unverified unless independent reporting confirms them. Claims by governments and militaries that are parties to a conflict are attributed by name.
- Neutrality on politics and government: we describe the positions of the people and institutions involved in their own terms and attribute claims to those who make them.
- Clear labeling: commentary is kept separate from reporting and appears only where it is plainly labeled, such as an “Our Take” section or an opinion piece.
- Corrections: when we get something wrong, we fix it and say so. Readers can report errors through our Corrections Policy page or our contact form.
The Boston Report is free to read and supported by advertising. Advertising never determines what we cover or how we cover it, and sponsored material is never presented as news.
