Waterbury Roundabout is a nonprofit community news organization founded in May 2020 to restore local journalism coverage after the closure of the Waterbury Record, a longtime weekly newspaper that ceased operations earlier that year. The outlet focuses on providing local reporting for Waterbury, Duxbury, and communities within the Harwood Unified Union School District in central Vermont. Its mission is to deliver reliable, objective, and accurate coverage of local government, schools, businesses, community organizations, events, and residents across the Waterbury region. The publication also emphasizes community connection through storytelling, photography, and civic reporting designed to reflect local life and strengthen public engagement.
