There’s something special to me about local news. It’s inconspicuous, and it doesn’t always trend—but it matters. It’s your park expanding, your kid’s school board, your neighbor running for city council. It’s real people, real places and real impact.
As someone who helps tell those stories here at Tri-City Voice, I’ve seen how meaningful community reporting can be. It’s easy to get swept up in national headlines and feel overwhelmed by the uncertainty of today’s political landscape. But local journalism brings the lens closer to home, grounding us in what’s unfolding right here in Fremont, Union City, Newark, and all the pockets surrounding us.
We cover the hospital fighting to keep its doors open, the residents pushing for safer streets, the teacher going above and beyond. And we celebrate the fun stuff too, like high school sports games, food festivals and hometown heroes.
But none of this works without you.
Seriously—thank you. Thank you for picking up the paper, for reading online, for emailing us tips or just saying, “Hey, I saw your story.” That kind of support is what keeps local news alive. It reminds us why this work matters.
In this competitive attention economy, your engagement is everything. I feel lucky to write for a paper that still believes in showing up, listening deeply and giving voice to this community.
Local news is about staying connected. And in times like these, that connection feels invaluable. So thanks for sticking around. We’re glad you’re here. And we’re not going anywhere.
