The Boston Herald is ending comments July 1. Here’s why
In order to dramatically speed up the performance of the website, the Boston Herald is closing the comment section provided by a third-party vendor this Saturday, July 1.
This change will make for a faster online reading experience on mobile and desktop platforms. The Herald values free exchange of ideas and readers can submit a letter to the editor for publication and our content is open for engagement on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media platforms.
Clicking on a Herald staff writer’s byline opens a page where you can email the writer directly. The “Contact Us” link at the bottom of our website brings up a directory of senior staff you can contact. In addition, we invite you to subscribe to our newsletters where your ideas are already being put to use on news tips, from the archives research and sports features we chase.
Thank you again for supporting local news and the Boston Herald.
