Circling the News to Go to a “New Model”

For nine years, Circling the News has been a free resource. To keep it going and growing, we are taking the next step.

The digital newspaper began as a passion project to make sure important stories in our community were not overlooked. As someone who has lived in the Palisades since 1994 and been associated with local newspapers since 2005, I have always believed strong communities depend on local journalism.

Over the years, Circling the News has reported on stories that might otherwise have gone uncovered. From breaking news in the Palisades to investigative reporting during Covid and coverage of programs affecting our community, the goal has always been the same: giving residents a voice and holding city, county, and state officials accountable.

The cost of reporting, editing, and maintaining the site continues to grow, and moving to a subscription model will allow Circling the News to remain sustainable for the long term.

We plan to switch to a subscription model on Monday, March 30 and for those who want to get in early, by March 13, a three-year subscription is $260, a $40 savings.

This next step will allow us to invest more in the stories that matter most to the Palisades community, including:

*Expanded sports coverage
* More in-depth community reporting
* Subscriber-only stories
* A platform for reader viewpoints and letters
* Continued free obituary notices so families can preserve the history of loved ones

Here is how you can support Circling the News:

Best Value
3 Years – $260
Save $40 and lock in today’s pricing

Most Popular
1 Year – $100
Less than $2 per week supporting independent local journalism

Independent local journalism only survives when the community chooses to support it. If Circling the News has been valuable to you over the past nine years, I hope you will consider becoming a subscriber. For those who have donated, you are considered a subscriber. If you have questions, reach out to [email protected].

Thank you for reading and supporting local reporting in Pacific Palisades.

    Sue,

    Congratulations on the next chapter for Circling the News. Thank you for your tireless work keeping the Palisades informed over the years. You have been such an asset to our town, delivering multiple stories daily for the past nine years and uncovering so many important stories that otherwise might never have been told.

    Your reporting has been especially important during difficult times like the fires, when our community needed clear, timely, and trusted information more than ever. Circling the News has truly become a daily resource for so many of us in the Palisades.

    Local journalism only survives when the community supports it, and Circling the News is absolutely worth supporting. I hope many others in our community will join me in subscribing so this important local voice continues to thrive.

    Please sign me up for the three year subscription.
