About us
One front page for Bristol County
News about Bristol County, Massachusetts, is spread across daily papers, nonprofit newsrooms, radio stations, police departments and 20 separate town and city websites. The Bristol Brief brings it together in one place.
Through the day we check 49 public feeds, keep the items that name one of the county's cities and towns, and sort them by town and topic. Each headline links to the original story on the publisher's site. We show the headline and the publisher's own summary, never the full article, so please support the newsrooms doing the reporting.
What you'll find here
- Headlines from local newsrooms, filterable by town, type and source.
- Town hall notices and meeting agendas posted by municipal websites.
- Weather alerts from the National Weather Service and tide times from NOAA.
- Commuter rail alerts for the county's eight MBTA stations.
