The News & Review is a group of free alternative weekly newspapers published by Chico Community Publishing, Inc. of Chico, California. The company publishes the Chico News & Review in Chico, California, the Sacramento News & Review in Sacramento, California, and, through Jan. 30, 2022, the Reno News & Review in Reno, Nevada. On January 31, 2022, the Reno News & Review was sold to Coachella Valley Independent LLC. [1]

Contents

The chain started out as an on-campus newspaper for California State University, Chico called The Wildcat, but after a dispute with the administration, the newspaper moved off campus to become an independent publication. [2]

Print publication of the newspapers was temporarily suspended after publisher Jeff vonKaenel told employees on March 16, 2020, that the COVID-19 pandemic led to a drastic downturn in advertising revenue that had already been in decline. [3] [4] [5] Although a digital presence was maintained on the three newspapers' websites, much of the staff was laid off with the publication of editions dated March 19, 2020. [6]

However, beginning in July 2020, the Sacramento News & Review and Chico News & Review returned to newsstands with monthly issues. The Sacramento News & Review was forced to suspend print publication once again in January 2021. [7] The Chico News & Review continued printing monthly issues until announcing in December 2023 that its last physical edition will be printed Jan. 11, 2024. Afterward its content will strictly run online. [8]

The Sacramento News & Review remains online-only. [9] The Reno News & Review resumed print publication as a monthly starting with the June 2022 issue. [10]

The Chico News & Review (CN&R) is the first of the three News & Review papers, founded in 1977. The Chico News & Review is noted as one of the few alternative papers to out-circulate its local daily paper, the Chico Enterprise-Record, with a cumulative readership of over 100,000, according to the Circulation Verification Council's 2015 report. The founding editor was Robert Speer, and the current editor is Jason Cassidy. [11]

In 2016, a partnership with the North Valley Community Foundation, and matching small community donations helped support investigative journalism in Butte County, California. After the decline of advertising support in March 2020, community members began supporting the paper through contributions made on their website.

The CN&R's most well-known annual issues are:

Events

In 2005, the Chico News & Review started the Chico Area Music Celebration (CAMMIES) to honor the vibrant, eclectic music scene in Butte County, California. Winners are selected by CN&R readers in a list of musical genres, including Singer-songwriter, Hard rock/Metal, Blues, Jam/R&B/Funk, Rap, Punk/Ska and others. Critics vote for winners in more specific areas, e.g. Best Male/Female vocalist, Best Guitarist, Best Drummer, Best Local CD, Local Badass, etc. [15]

Keep Chico Weird is an annual event to honor the weird of Chico and Butte County, who help foster an environment of tolerance and creativity. CN&R produces a Keep Chico Weird Art Show and a Keep Chico Weird Talent Show, that highlights a wide range of artists and art, including sword swallowers, mimes, spelling-bee champs, organ grinders, etc. [16]

Chico Beer Week is another annual event celebrating craft beer in Chico and is coordinated with local breweries, bars, restaurants and retailers responsible for the area's local craft-beer scene. [17]

The continuation of these annual events is unclear due to the limitations the COVID-19 pandemic has placed on the paper.

[28] [29] The founding editor was Melinda Welsh; Scott Anderson is currently acting news editor. [30]

These annual issues have been suspended in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2013, a grant from the Sacramento Emergency Foodlink allowed the SN&R to conduct independent research, reporting and distribution of articles on the subject of poverty in the Sacramento region from November 2012 to October 2013. [33]

The paper is noted as the last place of employment of investigative journalist Gary Webb, who began working at the paper after the Dark Alliance scandal. Webb allegedly committed suicide while working for the paper. [34] [35]

Events

Sacramento Area Music Awards

In 1992, the Sacramento News & Review started the Sacramento Area Music Awards (SAMMIES) to honor and promote the growing music scene in Sacramento. [36] Winners are selected by SN&R readers in a list of musical genres, including Folk rock, Funk, Hard rock, Blues, Punk and many more. [37] Critics vote for winners in more specific areas, e.g. Male/Female vocalist, Keyboardist, Bassist, etc. [38] Winners of the SAMMIES include Cake (band), Deftones, Oleander (band) and others. [39]

Interfaith

On the first anniversary of September 11, the Sacramento News & Review brought together musical acts from different faith groups around Sacramento for a Call For Unity Event to symbolize the city's acceptance of racial and religious diversity. [40] Every year someone in the region was honored with a Building Unity Award for their interfaith work in Sacramento, until 2008, when the last Call for Unity event was held. [41]

In December 2015, the News & Review, in partnership with Sacramento's local Habitat for Humanity, began a Build for Unity project, where Muslims, Christians, and other faith groups came together to build Habitat houses, in part as a response to the anti-Muslim rhetoric of national politics. [42] [43] The project was funded in large part by generous donations from a wide range of faith groups.

Controversy

In 2015, after learning that Mayor Kevin Johnson primarily used a private email account with his staff while in public office, the Sacramento News & Review issued a Freedom of Information request to gain access to (then) Mayor Kevin Johnson's emails. [49] An attorney for the city deemed the emails public property, but instead of handing them over, the Mayor moved to sue the Sacramento News & Review and the city of Sacramento. [50] In response to the lawsuit, the Sacramento News & Review published a cover story where, according to their statement, a cartoon depicts Kevin Johnson as "sweaty and nervous while reading about his lawsuit against this paper and allegations of email misuse." [51] Betty Williams, the former president of Sacramento's local NAACP and a longtime associate of Kevin Johnson, released a statement criticizing the paper for its "racially biased news coverage" of the mayor, mainly referring to the cartoon portrayal of the mayor. [51] [52] The lawsuit and the allegations of racially biased news coverage attracted the attention of Deadspin who began covering the story, bringing national attention to the many allegations against Kevin Johnson, including allegations of sexual assault and harassment. This national attention put pressure on ESPN to not air a film praising Kevin Johnson's work in Sacramento with the Sacramento Kings and their new downtown arena. Almost immediately after ESPN pulled the film, Kevin Johnson announced that he would not be seeking another term as Mayor of the City of Sacramento. [53] In March 2016, the News & Review was recognized by the James Madison Freedom of Information Awards for its significant contributions to advancing freedom of information for this legal battle to obtain Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson's emails. [54]

Solving Sacramento collaborative

In June 2022, the Sacramento News & Review, along with the Sacramento Observer, [55] Sacramento's African American weekly newspaper, brought together seven Sacramento news organizations into a collaborative called Solving Sacramento. In addition to the Observer and the Sacramento News & Review, the Sacramento Business Journal, [56] Russian American Media (a three-publication media company), [57] Outword Magazine (an LGBTQ+ publication), [58] Sacramento’s NPR station Capital Public Radio, [59] and Univision Sacramento [60] joined the collaborative effort, working together to produce and share news stories on issues that most impact the Sacramento region. The initial focus was on affordable housing and rebooting the arts. [61]

This collaborative was initially funded through a grant from Solutions Journalism Network, [62] and is fiscally sponsored by Local Media Foundation. [63]
