About the LBMC

The Long Beach Media Collaborative is a team of reporters and editors from four newsrooms across the city: the Press-Telegram, Long Beach Post, Grunion Gazette and Long Beach Business Journal.

Convened by the Long Beach Community Foundation with funding from the Knight Foundation, LBMC supports a new model for producing in-depth, local journalism.

Our first series—Strengthening the Signal—examined an unsettling shortage of Internet access within the city and considers ways to bridge the gap.

In the next phase of its partnership, the collaborative will tackle another divide: the disparities that have created a housing crisis in Long Beach.
