About North State Now

A local publication with a community focus

I publish North State Now, an independently owned and operated local news publication based in Redding, California. My coverage includes Redding, Shasta County and communities throughout Northern California’s North State.

My mission is to help people understand what is happening close to home through local news, public safety updates, community stories, local government coverage and information about family activities and events.

Ownership and editorial responsibility

North State Now is independently owned and operated by a single publisher and editor. I manage the publication and take responsibility for selecting stories, reviewing information, publishing coverage and addressing corrections.

Articles carry the publication byline “By North State Now.” That byline identifies the publication responsible for the article.

How I approach coverage

I draw on public agency announcements, public records, community submissions and other available source material. I aim to make the source of information clear and distinguish confirmed information from preliminary reports or claims that have not been independently confirmed.

Read the Editorial Policy for my standards on sourcing, developing stories, corrections and advertising independence.
