Important Stories Fully Told.

“Facts are subversive.” — I.F. Stone

Unfolding in 2023: Founded by journalist Bill Shein, The Berkshire Argus will feature in-depth, long-form reporting on local and regional issues, ensuring that our communities’ stories are told with context, history, and myriad voices and perspectives. The Argus will also feature audio reporting, podcast interviews, news analysis, informed commentary, and more.
