I had a great discussion last week with the folks at KOCE’s “Real Orange” about Voice of OC’s first several weeks in action.

We chatted about what we are trying to accomplish and a bit about the state of journalism in general. You can watch the interview here. Please check it out and email me your feedback to nsantana@voiceofoc.org.

Since you've made it this far,

You are obviously connected to your community and value good journalism. As an independent and local nonprofit, our news is accessible to all, regardless of what they can afford. Our newsroom centers on Orange County’s civic and cultural life, not ad-driven clickbait. Our reporters hold powerful interests accountable to protect your quality of life. But it’s not free to produce. It depends on donors like you.
