Shasta Scout is grateful for our sponsors. Become one here.

Good morning. It's Thursday!


And our summer interns have arrived! Please meet Moe Shimizu and Maya Nelson. With the onboarding support of seasoned reporters Madison and Nevin, our interns have already reported their first stories, linked below! I'm so grateful to welcome them to our newsroom as part of a program funded by the Scripps Howard Foundation in partnership with the Institute for Nonprofit News. 


Also ... in preparation for this election, statewide outlet CalMatters reached out asking if we'd be willing to provide onsite photography for a Shasta elections story if one arose. We said yes, never imagining we'd become part of the story


Forging ahead,


Annelise Pierce
