About Us
Our Story
San Diego Neighborhood News was founded in 2020, amid a growing concern for the decline of local journalism in our beloved San Diego, California. As larger media outlets began to scale back their coverage, the rich tapestry of our communities risked being overlooked. With a vision to fill this critical gap, we set out to create a platform that champions local voices, highlights underrepresented stories, and keeps our community interconnected.
