Fresnoland

Fresnoland exists to make policy public – by, for, and with all residents of the central San Joaquin Valley. We’re not parachute journalists, trying to explain what’s going on to outsiders. This is our home, these are our communities, our air and water that we breathe and drink too. Fresnoland began in 2018 as a place to start creating original research about the region so we could help others understand how to solve some of our most complex problems. In early 2020 we launched The Fresnoland Lab at the Fresno Bee to create a new way of sharing our original research and reporting with a broader audience. Since 2020, we have been consistently serving the information needs of our community, especially those who have been historically excluded from policy and politics.
