Editing The Boston Globe (section)

==Websites==
''The Boston Globe'' maintains two distinct major websites: BostonGlobe.com is a subscriber-supported site with a [[paywall]] and content from the printed paper; and [[Boston.com]], one of the first regional news portals,<ref>{{Cite news |title=Globe launches on-line service |date=October 30, 1995 |work=The Boston Globe}}</ref> is supported by advertising. Between September 2011 and March 2014, the ''Globe'' gradually withdrew stories written by ''Globe'' journalists from Boston.com, making the sites more and more separated.<ref name=nieman-unbundle>{{cite web |title=Embrace the unbundling: ''The Boston Globe'' is betting it'll be stronger split up than unified |url=http://www.niemanlab.org/2014/03/embrace-the-unbundling-the-boston-globe-is-betting-itll-be-stronger-split-up-than-unified/ |publisher=Nieman Journalism Lab |access-date=April 30, 2014 |author=Justin Ellis |archive-date=April 24, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140424013157/http://www.niemanlab.org/2014/03/embrace-the-unbundling-the-boston-globe-is-betting-itll-be-stronger-split-up-than-unified/ |url-status=live }}</ref> BostonGlobe.com was designed to emphasize a premium experience focusing on content and emulating the visual appearance of ''The Boston Globe'' newspaper; the site was one of the first major websites to use a [[Responsive web design|responsive design]] that automatically adapts its layout to a device's screen size. Boston.com followed suit in 2014. The two sites are aimed towards different readers; while Boston.com became targeted towards "casual" readers and local content, the new ''Boston Globe'' website is targeted towards the audience of the paper itself.<ref name=paidcontent-bostonglobesite>{{cite web |title=BostonGlobe.Com Launches Today; Shifts To Paying Subscribers Only Oct. 1 |url=http://paidcontent.org/2011/09/12/419-bostonglobe-com-launches-today-shifts-to-subscribers-only-oct-1/ |work=PaidContent |access-date=August 5, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130920022227/http://paidcontent.org/2011/09/12/419-bostonglobe-com-launches-today-shifts-to-subscribers-only-oct-1/ |archive-date=September 20, 2013}}</ref><ref name=dotnet-responsive>{{cite web |title=Behind Boston Globe's responsive layout |url=http://www.netmagazine.com/news/behind-boston-globes-responsive-layout-111400 |work=.net magazine |access-date=August 5, 2013 |archive-date=August 27, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130827215324/http://www.netmagazine.com/news/behind-boston-globes-responsive-layout-111400 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name=poynter-globesite>{{cite web |title=Paywalled BostonGlobe.com launches, while Boston.com remains free |url=http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/top-stories/145687/subscription-only-bostonglobe-com-launches-with-boston-com-free/ |work=Poynter |access-date=August 5, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130803093828/http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/top-stories/145687/subscription-only-bostonglobe-com-launches-with-boston-com-free/ |archive-date=August 3, 2013}}</ref>

=== Digital subscriptions ===

The ''Globe'' had 226,000 digital subscribers as of December 2021, among the highest of any metro newspapers in the country.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kennedy |first=Dan |date=December 13, 2021 |title=The Globe reports that paid digital-only circulation has hit 226,000 |url=https://dankennedy.net/2021/12/13/the-globe-reports-that-paid-digital-only-circulation-has-hit-226000/ |access-date=November 3, 2022 |website=Media Nation |language=en |archive-date=September 26, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220926103634/https://dankennedy.net/2021/12/13/the-globe-reports-that-paid-digital-only-circulation-has-hit-226000/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

Boston Globe Media Partners, which owns the ''Globe'', operates a number of websites covering certain niche subjects. The sites share many resources, like office space, with the ''Globe'', but are often branded separately from the newspaper:
*'''[[Boston.com]]''' is a regional website that offers news and information about the [[Boston, Massachusetts]] area.
*Loveletters.boston.com is a love advice column run by [[Meredith Goldstein]], an advice columnist and entertainment reporter for ''The Boston Globe.''
*Realestate.boston.com is a regional website that offers advice on buying, selling, home improvement, and design with expert advice, insider neighborhood knowledge, the latest listings to buy or rent, and a window into the world of luxury living.
