At a time when there’s so much misinformation and so many communities lack access to trustworthy local journalism, KQED remains committed to serving the public with reporting, programs and services that reflect and support our entire Bay Area community. And that means everyone, regardless of their identity or economic status.
It’s moments like these that drive our work at The California Report Magazine, reminding us of the importance of amplifying real stories from people and communities whose voices are seldom heard. Whether it’s meeting the teenage frontman of a family band that plays Mexican regional music on the Central Coast, hearing from an L.A. poet whose resilience persevered through surviving torture and exile or listening to a celebrated Petaluma cheesemaker who finds inspiration for her flavors in classical music, our communities have their own stories that uplift others in the Golden State and beyond.
Both The California Report Magazine and KQED set out to reimagine how people engage with their news, ensuring that everyone in the Bay Area and California has access to journalism, programs and services that reflect their realities, voices, values and more.
Empowering journalists to innovate and create new ways to serve their community is at the heart of KQED’s mission. This is only possible thanks to the support of our dedicated members, and it’s one of the many reasons why we need your additional support today.
If you can, please give before midnight and double the power of your generosity. |
