Davisville, Nov. 3, 2025: Yolo Local news and information project takes another step forward

Mon, 11/03/2025 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Yolo Local, an emerging Davis Media Access project to create a new place for local information and news -- with the goal of countering the decline of local news outlets -- has wrapped up several months of conversations and research to learn more about what people in Yolo County want and need. This fall the project published a report with insights and ideas, and early next year they'll start using this work to define what Yolo Local will be and how it will function. It'll probably include a website. Other ideas include producing information in Spanish, and a "backbone" that news outlets might use to work together and share resources.

Today we get an update with Autumn Labbe-Renault, DMA’s executive director, about how this work in progress is coming together.
