About Us
209 Times is an independent community driven grassroots news source.
What We're About
With over 800,000 followers and an average monthly social reach above 100 million, we keep the Central Valley more informed than mainstream outlets combined. Our impact has been noted by the LA Times, NPR, and other publications. We are from here and continue to represent the 209.
Whether it's exposing corrupt elected officials or taking on institutions and policies of the powerful, we cover the issues corporate-owned media are too scared or too compromised to address.
We also tell community stories that often go overlooked, from the unnoticed to inspirational success stories. We strive to be the voice of the community.
