GBH News, WCAI, and New England Public Media (NEPM) today announced a partnership to report and expand news coverage statewide, reaching listeners from Springfield to Provincetown and points between. Connecting the Commonwealth, the first initiative of its kind in Massachusetts, will build upon a longstanding relationship between the three public media outlets, as well as GBH News bureaus in Worcester, at the State House, and in Boston. The new initiative will be led by Jennifer L. Moore. “Each Massachusetts community is unique. At the same time, they all need news and information about many of the same issues, whether that’s education, the environment, the economy or our elections. We believe Connecting the Commonwealth will be a trusted destination for news from across the state,” said Moore. “I look forward to hearing from our audiences about what matters most to them and reaffirming our commitment to impactful daily journalism.”

What’s it like to go to jail at age 16 and then – 12 years later – return home? Onyx White is among some 1,700 people with criminal convictions released from Massachusetts prisons in 2022. Their experiences – rarely told and often hidden from public view – are the focus of the @GBHNews reporting project Life After Prison. The series continues with Don't Judge Me, an intimate view of White’s life as he works to launch a music career, find stable housing and – most importantly – avoid the parole violations that land many returning citizens back in jail.
