Local newsroom network — October 27, 2026 baseline: 1,232 published local newsroom pages (483 incorporated-city communities and 184 additional local or rural communities). 1,564 published stories are directly assigned to these local newsrooms, within 2,228 published California58 articles overall; 138 newsrooms have at least five locally assigned stories, and 529 have one to four. The figures in this paragraph are a dated content audit, not live readership figures or independently staffed-office counts. The live reporting table below displays cumulative WordPress counters and may update at a different pace from the network directory. Recorded story views and local newsroom front-page views are different counters; neither measures unique people, monthly readers, ad impressions or conversions. For Google Search performance, use separately dated Search Console reporting rather than equating searches with site visits.
Readership statistics for our local newspapers
Public figures from California58's own recorded page-view counters, with a clear explanation of what they can and cannot show.
These are cumulative recorded WordPress page views, not unique readers or people reached. Counts may include repeat visits after a 30-minute exclusion window, omit some bots and do not establish a measured last-30-day audience. Figures refresh approximately every 15 minutes. Page and story totals should not be marketed as unique visitors. The two view totals represent different page types, and cannot be interpreted as distinct audiences.

How the numbers are measured
Our WordPress counters increment for eligible page loads on published content, excluding some recognizable bots and repeat requests using a 30-minute browser cookie. Visitors who decline or clear the cookie and visitors on different devices may be counted again. Some cached requests or technical visits may not be measured. Edition page views and views of articles assigned to each edition are shown separately.
These figures are not Google Analytics users, independently audited circulation, verified demographic reach, advertising impressions, newsletter subscribers or purchases. We can provide only information supported by the available records. No individual reader information is published here.
