About Cali Reporter

An independent newsroom covering California, the nation, and the West, with dedicated desks for health, relationships, new business, and good news.

What this is

Cali Reporter is a digital daily with eight sections: California, National, Business, West Coast, Health & Nutrition, Love & Relationships, New Business, and Good News. Every story carries a named byline from our masthead of thirty writers, including four weekly columnists: The Golden State Plate on food and nutrition, Heart Lines on relationships, Small Giant on new business, and Good Works on charity.

How we work

We aggregate reporting from a curated mix of wires and publishers, rewrite every story from the original facts in our own voice, and always credit the originating newsroom with a link. We never copy phrasing, and we never invent quotes, numbers, names, or statistics. Our headlines are written to be clicked, but every claim in them is supported by the facts in the article.

Our newsroom uses AI tools under strict house rules, with human editorial standards applied to every published piece. Our columnist features are original opinion and advice writing and are labeled as columns.

Our standards

We will be wrong sometimes. When we are, we correct the record at the top of the affected article and say plainly what we got wrong. Read our full Ethics & Corrections policy.
