For nearly 30 years, the North Coast Journal has been covering the stories and people you care about in Humboldt County. We’re proud to share our coverage in print and online for free so everyone — with or without internet access or the means to subscribe to a paper — can stay informed, especially during the current COVID-19 crisis.

This week, our ongoing COVID-19 reporting included daily case updates, a detailed look at how two organizations — little Peninsula Union School and nonprofit Cooperation Humboldt — are working to meet neighbors’ needs, an analysis of how low testing rates may have contributed a recent dip in the number of new cases locally, a rundown of where bookworms can turn to get their fix while sheltering in place, the latest look at Humboldt’s rising unemployment numbers, a look at how Dell’Arte is taking its show online and a pair of columns from the fine folks at the Humboldt Office of Education, one looking at how to help prevent domestic violence and the other on how childcare workers are essential and underappreciated. It’s been a lot to keep up with.

For the first time in our history, the Journal has created a way for readers to pitch in to help keep our mission going and the newsroom humming through these unprecedented times. (Click here for more information.)
