CalMatters programs are centered around connecting with serving communities across California. Through our projects featured here, we adapt our content to reach nontraditional news readers, provide opportunities for developing journalists to tell unique stories and build better coverage of the full breadth of California lived experiences. We hope you’ll review our nonprofit newsroom’s programs and that you’ll consider helping to fund this important work.
Youth Journalism
The Youth Journalism Initiative is helping youth become careful consumers and quality producers of news. We recognize that media literacy is key to democratic governance.
California Divide
California’s gap between rich and poor is among the largest in the country, and it is widening. We explore how income inequality is reverberating across the state.
