The Amherst Outlet is an extension of what news hub TrueMass stands for: bringing you the latest and most complete, accurate, and relevant stories to fit the high-framerate life of an Amherst resident in 2019. Ran independently by Julian Mendoza, one-third of the group of writers that brought you TrueMass, The Amherst Outlet is here to focus centrally around technology news.

Like its mother site, although The Amherst Outlet’s independent reporting is done at a local level for use in a journalism course at UMass Amherst, it still looks to contribute to the life of an everyday consumer by providing Amherst residents with relatable articles that impact them. Additionally, The Amherst Outlet connects you to a variety of other media outlets to bring you information on a broader scale.

Now more than ever, news media is veiled under intense scrutiny and distrust within the public eye. Here at The Amherst Outlet, we strive to ensure that our journalism breaks that mold.
