Happy Veterans Day to all veterans who have served our country and its armed forces in any capacity. We thank you for your service and sacrifice.
This week, Tri-Valley Voice welcomed several new reporters, strengthening our ability to cover San Ramon and Dublin in greater depth—including schools, local government and community concerns.
Going forward, reporters will also be able to accompany their articles with video or audio narration. This will allow them to explain stories in their own words, add context and give readers a more personal and in-depth understanding of the issues.
Another important feature we have introduced is our Anonymous Tips page. Because some of the information we receive is sensitive, protecting our sources is essential. Through this separate page, residents can submit information using a secure text box. Every submission will be reviewed manually. The form is designed not to store users’ IP addresses or other identifying information on our servers, helping protect the identity of those who contact us.
Our reporters recently met with representatives from the Contra Costa County Clerk-Recorder’s Office. We are now exploring mock-election tours for high school students, giving them a practical look at how elections are conducted. We also plan to offer civic-education sessions explaining the responsibilities of elected officials and how their decisions affect residents’ daily lives.
Our goal is to encourage greater electoral participation among young adults ages 18 to 27, who have historically participated at lower rates than older age groups.
As always, I want to reiterate that your subscription is vital to our survival. While many news organizations concentrate on national stories, Tri-Valley Voice remains committed to local reporting. You will rarely see national news in our publication unless it directly affects the Tri-Valley community.
Our commitment is to keep asking questions on your behalf and to help ensure that your concerns are heard.
