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 look at the criteria officials will use to determine when it's time to slow down the easing of shelter-in-place restrictions, a heart-warming story about the woman making soup for a community of seniors, a look at how COVID-19 has impacted local farmers' markets and, with a pair of local casinos opening their doors, a story about why mass gatherings scare health officials. 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.)
