Education Matters
Issues affecting schools in the greater Bay Area — and the students, teachers, administrators and parents involved with education — matter to the health of our communities. We publish stories from our independent journalists and in partnership with other outlets such as EdSource.
Youth Voices
We value youth perspectives on issues from education to politics to culture. This section provides a space for youth voices from around the Bay Area, including high school and college journalists.
Contra Costa Youth Journalism
The Contra Costa Youth Journalism (CCYJ) initiative empowers students from underserved Contra Costa County high schools to write and share stories about their schools and communities. Students learn journalism fundamentals and ethical practices from industry experts and gain the opportunity to build their writing portfolios with professionally published work on CCSpin and here on LocalNewsMatters.org, which is hosted and funded by Bay City News Foundation.
