In the beginning...

Welcome to The Commonwealth Comment. An online news blog based in Boston, Massachusetts. The purpose of this blog is to help reduce media consolidation and offer news and opinion on the world's current political and social events. All views are welcome here at Commonwealth and I encourage you to comment on what you read here.

My name is James O'Leary, a broadcast journalism major at Boston's Emerson College and now editor of The Commonwealth Comment. Enjoy!

Sincerely,
James O'Leary
