Morristown Green

MorristownGreen.com is an independent, hyperlocal media platform dedicated to covering Morristown and the surrounding communities of Morris Township and Morris Plains in New Jersey. Founded in the late 2000s by journalist Kevin Coughlin, the outlet was originally launched as an experiment in partnership with The Star-Ledger and NJ.com, evolving into a community-rooted publication with a strong local identity. The platform aims to function as a digital version of a town square—much like the historic Morristown Green itself—where residents can stay informed, share perspectives, and engage in meaningful conversations about local issues. Its coverage spans town government, education, arts, community events, and public life, often incorporating a multimedia approach that includes video, photography, and storytelling. A defining feature of MorristownGreen.com is its reliance on a network of volunteer contributors, reflecting a collaborative and community-driven model of journalism. The outlet also benefits from partnerships and support from local institutions, including cultural organizations and community groups, which help sustain its operations.
