Worcester Magazine will take the place of the Telegram & Gazette’s GO! section, and the publications will begin sharing content. This comes more than a year after the alt weekly magazine was acquired by T&G parent Gatehouse Media and just weeks after a round of layoffs of eight staffers at the two publications. While WoMag has covered arts and entertainment in the past, previously it reported on a broader range of topics as an alternative to the Telegram. Now, the T&G envisions the magazine as the go-to publication for arts and entertainment.

Does Worcester Magazine’s consolidation into the Telegram leave a hole in Worcester’s media landscape?
Yes. WoMag was an important alternative voice in reporting on the city. (34%, 55 VOTES)
Yes. Too many Central Mass. publications are controlled by one company, Gatehouse Media. (41%, 66 VOTES)
No. Other alternatives like This Week in Worcester have filled the void. (14%, 22 VOTES)
No. I never saw a need for a publication like WoMag. (11%, 17 VOTES)

    Yes!!! The owners of the T & G are ruining this paper!!! It gets thinner every week. We get less and less for our subscriptions, and they are trying to double the cost! Got my renewal bill, they wanted almost DOUBLE my normal rate. They do not care about local journalism. They want a cheap cash cow they can milk till it dies.

    It's a good choice to read our magazine every day, because we have a lot of information that can reach important news daily and increase our public information.

    Worcester needs a daily news platform - even if it's only an online one - owned and operated by a charitable non-profit, funded by net profits from an online infotainment platform, and with a legal and operational firewall between them.

    Moving WoMag in the T&G is a discernment to the City. Now those people who cannot afford the cost to read their public news will be left with little to no choice on finding out what's happening in their own neighborhood.

    Stripping the publication down to an Arts & Entertainment supplement removes an important voice in the Worcester media landscape and a vital watchdog to Worcester politics and business dealings.
