The Mendocino Voice is an independent, online, daily newspaper based in and covering Mendocino County, in Northern California.[1][2]

History

The Mendocino Voice is known for its breaking news coverage,[3] coverage of local issues and of the Northern California cannabis industry.[4][5][6][7] Also of note was its intensive coverage of the Wine Country Fires,[8] and the Mendocino Complex.[9][10]

It was founded in September 2016[11] by two former employees of The Willits News,[12] a legacy newspaper based in the town of Willits, California, and a property of Digital First Media (DFM). The founders, Adrian Fernandez Baumann[13] and Kate Maxwell, have cited a lack of local news stemming from the acquisition of small northern California newspapers by DFM and its control by Alden Global Capital, as reasons for starting a new local paper.[14][15][16]

The newspaper is part of a trend in the 2010s[17] towards small, wholly online newspapers, which have abandoned print publication.[18] As with many such publications it is a member of the Local Independent Online News Publishers group.[19][20][21][22]
