The Herald has cracked Boston Magazine’s 150 Most Influential Bostonians list, along with Karen Read.

As the magazine reports, the 150 people on the 2025 list “move the needle of our collective future.” And not necessarily to everyone’s agreement. “Let the arguments begin,” the magazine admits, because influence is fluid.

Wyc Grousbeck and the Boston Celtics top the list after the team was sold for a staggering $6.1 billion — “the highest in North American sports history.”

The rest of the list is packed with progressive stalwarts, from Gov. Maura Healey (#6) and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu (#7) and AG Andrea Campbell (#14), and plenty more.

Karen Read, who made the list (#150) on the same day her retrial in the death of her boyfriend BPD Officer John O’Keefe started, is listed as “defendant in the trial of the decade.”

The Herald was just ahead of that mark with Executive Editor Joe Dwinell (#134) being listed for the paper’s “resistance journalism in the Wu-Healey era.” BoMag gives the Herald props by adding that we’re “often channeling, reflecting, and shaping popular but underrepresented conservative perspectives in a largely progressive media environment.”

We’d have to say they got that right.
