A NEW LOCAL NEWS SOURCE
FOR MODESTO & STANISLAUS COUNTY
Coming soon
The Modesto FOCUS is the Central Valley Journalism Collaborative’s next nonprofit community-based newsroom. Our mission is to deliver high-quality, nonpartisan journalism that informs, empowers, and reflects the communities of Modesto and Stanislaus County. The Modesto FOCUS will launch in mid-2025 and is supported by a generous grant from the Stanislaus Community Foundation. The site will not have a paywall, ensuring our journalism remains accessible to everyone.
