A couple of months ago, we asked to hear from you—your thoughts on Tri-City Voice and what matters most when it comes to your local news. You responded enthusiastically, through letters, emails and online comments, and we read every single one. Your feedback gave us a clearer picture of who our readers are and what you care about most.
Most of you have been reading Tri-City Voice for six years or longer—thank you for that loyalty. While many of you call Fremont home, we also heard from readers across Newark, Union City and Hayward. You’re not especially drawn to social media (and honestly, we admire that), but you do count on us to tell you what’s happening right here in the greater Tri-Cities area.
Nearly all of you said the same thing: you want more local news. We hear you. You also asked for expanded coverage of arts and events—consider it done. Many of you love learning about our region’s history and discovering hidden gems like Fremont’s Lace Museum. And one request came through loud and clear: more food stories. Dining reviews and local business profiles topped the wish list, and we’re already planning to deliver.
Some readers asked for longer, in-depth features; others prefer short, to-the-point stories. We’ll keep offering a mix so everyone finds something to savor. On the issues front, homelessness remains a leading concern, along with health—especially mental health and senior well-being. Several of you also mentioned wanting more uplifting “good news” stories and letters to the editor. We couldn’t agree more—keep them coming.
Over the past year, we’ve expanded coverage of city government, housing, healthcare and public safety, and we’ll continue to build on that. At the same time, we’re eager to explore more of the restaurants, people and stories that make our community vibrant.
Thank you for helping shape Tri-City Voice. You remind us that local journalism isn’t just about reporting—it’s about listening, connecting and growing together.
