Here's what the The Press Democrat newsroom looked like this morning. Our journalists are working remotely to ensure we continue to provide our community with the information it needs. While you can send journalists out of the newsroom, you can't take the heart out of our news report.


Sonoma Media Investments, the parent of The Press Democrat , has managed to avoid layoffs and furloughs so far. Now, we have obtained a $3.4 million #PPPloan which will keep everyone on the job amid a staggering erosion of our business. Details: pressdemocrat.com/news/10931491-…


While our The Press Democrat website and social media channels allowed us to provide essential information about the #GlassFire to our community in real time, few things capture a snapshot of history better than the front page of a printed newspaper. Here's how the last week unfolded


If journalism is the first draft of history, then today’s front page from The Press Democrat marks the beginning of a new chapter


Norma Person helped return The Press Democrat to local ownership. Now, she is providing seed money for The Press Democrat Community Fund, a new nonprofit foundation to support quality journalism in Sonoma County. Details: pressdemocrat.com/article/opinio…


Retirement is yet one more thing that has been screwed by the pandemic. Normally, The Press Democrat staff would gather for a grand sendoff befitting the 44-year career of our leader, Cathy Barnett, whose last day is today. That will have to wait until better days. Hopefully soon.


History repeats itself all over again. Two The Press Democrat front pages, 13 months apart.


Big news for the The Press Democrat newsroom: we have a new editor. Welcome to Sonoma County Rick Green! pressdemocrat.com/article/news/r…

Meet our new editor - and follow him on Twitter Rick Green

We’re blessed to work with some of the most talented shooters in the business at The Press Democrat. Now, the NPPA judges confirmed something our readers already know: Kent Porter is a kick ass photojournalist. Nice job Kent! Thanks for making our news report so vibrant.
