YourArlington is an independent hyperlocal news organization focused on Arlington, Massachusetts. Founded in 2006 by veteran journalist Bob Sprague, the site began as an experiment in community journalism and has since published more than 23,000 articles covering local government, public meetings, schools, civic issues, and community events. In December 2021, YourArlington became a nonprofit organization recognized as a 501(c)(3), allowing it to receive tax-deductible donations and support through sponsorships, underwriting, and grants. The publication states that it maintains editorial independence regardless of funding sources. Bob Sprague served as editor until July 2023, when the organization expanded its staff and hired a dedicated editor.
