Keep the Community's Voice Alive
The Vanguard, a community-based watchdog and news reporting organization that publishes daily coverage of local government and criminal justice reform, said it’s asking supporters for help to fight its battle to remain viable.
“We have attempted to bring transparency, accountability and fairness to local government and the courts, while promoting social justice and democracy, and adhering to principles of accuracy and fairness in our reporting,” said publisher and editor David Greenwald.
The Vanguard began as The People’s Vanguard of Davis in 2006, and covers the courts, housing, transportation, local government, trees and the environment and the school district.
Now, The Vanguard provides coverage of criminal courts throughout California – including Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Angeles and others – regional and national coverage of justice issues, extended coverage of legal and innocence issues, and prison journalism.
