Santa Cruz Local

Santa Cruz Local is a local news organization that serves residents of Santa Cruz County and the Pajaro Valley. Santa Cruz Local was founded in 2019 by local journalists who wanted to give residents an unbiased, fair and accurate source of local news and information. In 2023, we launched Noticias Watsonville, Spanish-language audio news on WhatsApp. Now, we’re building civic news for young people.

Lookout Eugene-Springfield

Lookout Eugene-Springfield launches in early 2025, the second community news site of Lookout Local. Lookout Eugene-Springfield is modeled on the highly successful, Pulitzer Prize-winning Lookout Santa Cruz site. When launched -- with about 15 in the newsroom and 20 overall --it will serve as the largest and best newsroom in Oregon's second-largest metro area. Lookout doesn't complain about hedge fund ownership; we replace it with high-quality, trustworthy, non-partisan news and information broadly covered all aspects of diverse communities. We're looking for skilled, experienced professionals eager and able to build the next generation of local news, working out of our in-person, open-to-the-community downtown office.
