We Depend On You

News sites like FaceBakersfield are springing up across America. The New York Times wrote on Nov. 17, 2008, “Web Sites That Dig for News Rise as Watchdogs.” That’s us. We write the news from a perspective you won’t find anywhere else in Bakersfield. And while that means including the facts like everyone else, it also means providing a narrative style that is a bit different from local TV and news sites.

HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT US?

Do you enjoy reading our commentaries and investigative reporting? How about our sports and culture pieces? If you value what you are reading on FaceBakersfield, then it’s up to you to keep it running.

While we considered becoming a nonprofit, we felt we would try the old-fashioned way first, and that means through your advertising dollars rather than your donations.

Help us to continue bringing you the news by advertising in one of our unique programs or by placing an ad on our site. We’re open to fresh ideas too.
