Good morning, Stockton.
When local businesses, individuals and organizations are all invested in local journalism, everyone wins.
Stocktonia’s community of readers has embraced our independent reporting, but reader support alone is not enough to sustain a newsroom.
That’s why we’ve launched advertising and sponsorships from local businesses on stocktonia.org. This will allow Stocktonia to continue to be paywall-free and ensure our reporting is accessible to all.
Stocktonia will continue to be independent and impartial, and it remains a nonprofit. Advertising will be clearly labeled. Ultimately, we hope connecting local businesses with local readers will be beneficial for all.
Now, on to the news of the day, including a look at how Gov. Gavin Newsom’s call for California cities and counties to ban homeless encampments could embolden Stockton and San Joaquin County.
