Independent Santa Cruz journalism — updated through the day.

Contact the Newsroom

News tips, story ideas, corrections, and press submissions — we want to hear from you.

Newsroom

We welcome news tips, story ideas and corrections from readers across the area. Corrections are reviewed by our editors, and any changes are made on the story page itself.

Press Releases

Businesses, public agencies and community groups can have their announcements carried on our Press Wire. Paid releases are published with a clear label, and every release shows the name and website of the company that submitted it.

Advertising

Local businesses can reach our readers through display placements on the site. Advertising never influences what appears in our news coverage.

Editorial Independence

We accept paid press releases through our wire service, but our news desk is editorially independent. Sponsored content is labeled accordingly.
