Local Voices

Informed Communities

The Inland Empire is home to more than 4.6 million people. It drives California’s economy, shapes its workforce, and defines its future. But for too long, it has been one of the most underreported regions in the state. Informed IE is the regional newsroom built to change that. 

Local voices. Real accountability. For the people who live and work here.

About Us

Informed Inland Empire is a digital newsroom serving Riverside and San Bernardino counties. We cover the policies, systems, and decisions that shape daily life for 4.6 million residents with verified reporting, cultural competence, and deep local roots. 

We work in partnership with community and locally owned media across the region. Our mission is simple: give every resident access to the information they need to participate in public life.
