The Sacramento Press has been a long time in the making. We first formed our little company way back in 2005, what seems like an eternity ago. Back then we noticed that our media was delivering fewer and fewer local stories and we began to think of how to remedy the problem. Now, three years later, that idea stands before you today as the Sacramento Press.

With the help and serious hard work of many people we've finally gotten to the point where we can show Sacramento what we are working on. For those that have worked here, hard work barely does the effort justice. In the last 6 weeks most of us have had more sleepless nights than restful ones, but we persevered.

The Sacramento Press will be the best source of news and information in the Sacramento Metropolitan Area and it will accomplish that feat with the help of a whole lot of Sacramentans. But the Sacramentans that will make this possible will not be an elite staff of journalists, rather everyday people, reporting what they see and aspiring to the highest standards of journalistic excellence.

The Sacramento Press will provide all the tools necessary for an average citizen to report the news and to do so in a fashion that is compelling to all of Sacramento. By focusing on small local issues we aim to cover what matters most to people, what happens where they live.

By drawing on a base of the entire Sacramento community we will fill in coverage gaps that larger media companies struggle to cover. Instead of cutting back on local coverage we will expand it to cover every nook and cranny of our fair city. 

We think it's a bright future. And one in which we encourage anyone and everyone to take part. So sign up, log in, and start writing today!
