About

Become a community contributor

The Napa Tribune is written for the Napa Valley, and it belongs to the people who live here. If you live in the Napa Valley, you can apply to help cover it as a community contributor.

Contributors report what councils, schools, courts, and businesses are doing. They flag the stories we miss, suggest coverage, draft stories, and take photographs of the places they know best.

Contributors are volunteers. There is no pay and there are no quotas: contribute when you can, on the subjects you know. Every application is reviewed by the Napa Tribune's editor; a short exchange by email follows, and first contributions are supervised end to end.

Everything a contributor submits is reviewed and verified before publication. The Napa Tribune is accountable for everything it publishes.
