It isn't the worst newspaper in the world, but not from lack of trying. The sports section is above average, the local news coverage is alright, but after that  you get less than zero. Plagerists have been abundant and opinion, rather than news, dominates the front page. Think of  it as the New York Times with less credibility.

Ironically, it was probably the toughest paper on Kerry in 2004.

The worst paper,in perhaps the worst city

A very good paper, one of the best in the country. I prefer the Herald's sport section, however, particularly when it comes to the Red Sox. The Globe seems to get mean real quick, and relentlessly so. I can certainly understand how the frustration of covering the Red Sox could make the most beneficent reporter a little nasty, but they run it into the ground sometimes.

My local paper the Boston Globe is a fantastic paper. It's unbiased, covers every topic imaginable with very accurate info and insight. Also, it has, in my opinion, the best sports section in the country.

Say, anmalone, does the battle of Lexington and Concord mean anything to you?

very indepth especially since I'm used to the Providence journal furthur south.

It's in Boston. What more do you need to say? When have they been right about anything?

Pretty good paper. The sports section is phenominal. Bob Ryan and Charlie Pierce are among the best for a reason.

Sunday Globe is great

Not too bad, but at this time we don't need serious news in this world, and this newspaper delivers too much of it.

They could cover a bit more national news, but overall, I think the Boston Globe is a pretty decent newspaper.

The Globe is summed up best by their own slogan "some people choose to turn to the Globe." They are never really better than mediocre, despite the fact that Boston is a thriving & energized city and metro area.

The Golbe's Sunday sports section is among the best in the country with sometimes full page articles for all of the major sports covering multiple topics within the sport.
