Have an idea, suggestion, gripe or funny story to share with Golden State? Do you want to be a contributor? Want to be a financial supporter? If so, we want to hear from you.
IF YOU WANT TO BE PART OF THE CONVERSATION
That's great! Golden State was conceived as a public forum. We would love to publish your responses to articles you read at Golden State, but with a caveat: We will curate and fact-check reader comments before we publish them. We will not publish comments that are racist, sexist or tout conspiracy theories. If you would like us to consider your comment for publication, please email forum@golden-state.org.
If you want to pitch or submit an essay, review, column, story, video or other type of journalistic endeavor please email it to pitch@golden-state.org.
IF WE GET A FACT WRONG
If you notice an error of fact or a typo that needs fixing – and not a disagreement over an opinion – let us know at corrections@golden-state.org. We will fix it and post a correction as soon as possible.
IF YOU WANT TO ADVERTISE
We're open to paid advertising and sponsorships. Contact Mariel@golden-state.org to start the dialogue.
IF YOU WANT TO GIVE US MONEY
Then hooray to you for being a journalism hero! We believe the best way to maintain editorial independence it to seek funding from readers. That's you. If you like what you see and want to see more of it, we will need your help. The easiest way to do that is to sign up for a membership. If you have more money to share and want to be a part of building this new journalism nonprofit, you can give us as much as you want through our our Paypal account.
The 501(3)(c) status for Golden State's parent company, Informed Opinion Media, is in the works, and we hope to have it sorted by tax time 2026. But for a tax-deductible certainty, donate via our fiscal sponsor CalMatters (another excellent nonprofit journalism publication) by clicking here.
IF YOU ARE A REPORTER
Excellent! We are happy to tell the story of Golden State and what we hope to achieve to anyone who wants to hear it. Contact Mariel@golden-state.org
IF YOU WANT TO REPUBLISH GOLDEN STATE ARTICLES
We're open to sharing our hard work with other nonprofit news organizations, but with some limitations. Firstly, you must get our explicit permission. Send an inquiry to Mariel@golden-state.org that includes which article you'd like to republish when and where.
