The Swellesley Report is an online community news platform focused on Wellesley, Massachusetts. Founded in December 2005 by Deborah and Bob Brown, the site was launched as an experiment in online community journalism and civic engagement. It provides a mix of original reporting and curated links to other news sources, covering local government, community developments, events, and lifestyle topics. While its primary focus is Wellesley, the publication also includes coverage of nearby restaurants, cultural events in the Boston area, and regional travel ideas. The site operates as a small business and introduced advertising as a revenue stream in 2011 after initial audience growth. Content is produced by the founders along with contributions from guest writers and photographers.
