We believe in American democracy and the power of local communities to better themselves. We know that high-quality, trustworthy, nonpartisan and connect-the-dots local news reporting is essential to the strengthening of those communities and our country in the 2020s.
Acting on that belief, we’ve created Lookout Local.
Lookout is an emerging network of digital-only, mobile-first, editorially robust, intensely local media outlets offering community-centric news and resources.
The company’s network of websites will serve small to mid-sized markets, repopulating news and advertising deserts with modern, vibrant news products.
Lookout Santa Cruz, the company’s first site, launched in November 2020. Its parent, Lookout Local Inc., is a public benefit corporation whose fundamental mission is to serve its communities with a new and higher standard of news, information and community engagement.
