September 27, 2023 – Former Boston Globe investigative reporter Andrea Estes has joined the staff of the Plymouth Independent, a major move that is in keeping with the startup nonprofit news site’s mission to bring accountability reporting back to the growing town, which has been lacking robust coverage for years.

During her more than two decades at the Globe, Estes – a Plymouth resident – amassed an impressive body of work that uncovered corruption, abuse, and other wrongdoing in Boston and across Massachusetts. She earned a reputation as a tenacious and fearless journalist whose reporting led to criminal prosecution, firings, and policy reforms. See PI press release.
