Shasta Scout is an independent, hyperlocal, not-for-profit, emerging digital news media organization focused on increasing access to diverse and inclusive news in California's North State. We are committed to a participatory journalism model that encourages stories by the people, for the people, and that welcomes diverse voices to help shape the coverage our newsroom provides. We believe local independent participatory media builds stronger community connections, and drives healthier community decisions.
