California58 — One State. 58 Counties. Every Community Deserves a Voice. We are building an independent, interconnected media and public-information network serving California’s 58 counties, all 483 incorporated cities and rural and unincorporated communities. The network directory currently lists 667 local newspaper editions, and our mission is to make reliable local journalism, civic information, history, community resources and opportunities accessible to residents throughout the state. See the California58 Media Kit for our mission and partnerships. The directory size is not a claim that each edition has a full newsroom.
California58 welcomes partnerships that make trustworthy California information easier to find, understand and use. The strongest collaborations help close an information gap, reach an underserved community, improve a public-service tool or expand original local reporting.
Journalism and civic-information partnerships
California58 can collaborate with local and ethnic media, independent newsrooms, journalism schools, universities, civic organizations and community groups on reporting, public records, data projects, community listening, translation, emergency information and county-level coverage.
Government and public-data collaboration
Government agencies and public institutions may share public datasets, official service information, alerts, corrections and technical documentation. California58 remains independent and clearly identifies the responsible official source rather than presenting itself as a government agency.
Technology and data partnerships
The platform is interested in responsible partnerships involving maps, public data, accessibility, multilingual technology, live information, emergency systems, transportation and tools that help users move from information to a verified official action.
Community and language access
California58 is especially interested in collaborations that improve access for rural areas, small communities, immigrant and multilingual audiences, and people who are underserved by traditional statewide information systems.
Travel, parks and place-based partnerships
Partnerships with cultural institutions, parks, tourism organizations, museums, transportation providers and destination organizations can help improve practical travel information when the public-interest value is clear and commercial relationships are transparently labeled.
For California travel writers and destination creators
Independent publishers creating California road-trip guides, county itineraries, local attraction coverage or practical visitor resources can explore Travelpayouts for travel-related affiliate programs. It is a creator monetization platform, not a service for booking a trip through California58. Review each program’s eligibility, available inventory and disclosure requirements before promoting any travel offer.

Referral disclosure: California58 may receive a reward if an eligible new partner joins through this link and completes the program’s requirements. Editorial coverage and official public-service information remain independent.
Grants and philanthropic support
California58 may work with foundations, grantmakers and philanthropic partners to support original reporting, rural and underserved-community coverage, multilingual access, accessibility, community engagement, public-data infrastructure and other public-interest work. Funding does not purchase favorable editorial coverage or control independent editorial conclusions.
Commercial partnerships
Advertising, sponsorship and affiliated commercial relationships are kept distinct from independent editorial judgment. Paid placements are labeled so users can understand when a relationship is commercial.
