Support Local Community Journalism…You need us. We need you.

For the past 15 years, the Laguna Beach Independent has, through some difficult times in the newspaper industry, continued to deliver award-winning, local community journalism to you through our website, weekly newspaper’s print and digital editions and our social platforms. Local community journalism has never been more important, and increasingly in many places more difficult to find. Thousands of newspaper companies throughout the nation have closed due to the inability to adapt to publishing news in the digital era. At the Laguna Beach Independent, and at our many other community news platforms throughout the southwest, we continue to thrive. WE HAVE YOU TO THANK! Many of you have already chosen to give us a monthly or annual donation, and for that we are deeply grateful. Now, more than ever, you need us. And we need you.

From award-winning coverage of local elections, local government coverage, school district matters, entertainment, youth sports and a spotlight on those doing the important work in our community, you can count on us!  You can also help us by supporting the advertisers in this publication who, by advertising with us, also share in the support of keeping local journalism alive and healthy in our community.

Support local, independent journalism by making a donation to the Laguna Beach Independent today!
