Our Vision

TO BUILD A THRIVING MEDIA ORGANIZATION THAT SERVES THE STATE OF WHAT'S NEXT.

Our vision for the California Times is to build a thriving media organization that serves the state of what’s next. We have a proud history of independent journalism going back to 1868 with The San Diego Union-Tribune and 1881 with the Los Angeles Times. Working for the California Times means supporting a free press, which provides independent, fact-based journalism that is essential for our democracy and the public good. These news organizations are woven into the fabric of their communities – the two largest cities in the state – and project the view from the West Coast out to the world. Together, The Times and Union-Tribune have been recognized with 35 Emmy Awards and 53 Pulitzer Prizes, journalism’s highest honor. Through a range of platforms, from the print edition to podcasts, we play an integral role in our democracy and serve as a voice for those who are marginalized and underserved.
