The Mendocino Voice

We've been bringing you the latest news from Mendocino County for the past three years, and during this coronavirus pandemic we believe that the importance of fast, online news has been demonstrated clear. But do keep bring you this news need your support. Sign up and become a member, we and the entire community appreciate it.&nbsp; Thank you, A.F. Baumann, Managing Editor About Us We started this locally-owned online newspaper to fill what we see as an important gap for our readers — both breaking news as it’s happening, and in-depth coverage of county issues that can be hard to do with print deadlines. It's important to us to cover news that's valuable to the whole community, and we thank everyone for supporting our project and sharing ideas about what issues they'd like to see covered. Everyone on our staff has worked at other local papers in the county, most of which are owned by Digital First Media, a national newspaper chain based in Denver, the same company that owns most of the other papers in Northern California. Corporate cutbacks and out of state owners made working for DFM increasingly difficult, so we decided to start a locally-owned and independent news source that would be accountable to the local community.
