Thank you for reading The Palm Springs Post.

And more importantly, thank you for trusting us.

That trust matters more than ever.

Studies such as the latest Edelman Trust Barometer show people are increasingly looking for information from sources they actually know and trust — organizations that are local, familiar, and consistently present in their communities. That’s what we’ve tried to build with The Palm Springs Post over the past five years.

Every week, we cover the meetings, development projects, city decisions, public safety issues, neighborhood concerns, and policy debates that shape life in Palm Springs. We explain what’s happening, why it matters, and how it affects residents.

We’ve tried to do that in a straightforward way: without sensational headlines, without outrage, and without turning local news into a performance. Just consistent reporting from people who care about this community.

This week, we’re running our annual summer fundraiser.

Summer is always our leanest season. Community activity slows down, many residents travel, and advertising budgets tighten. But city government doesn’t stop. Development decisions still happen. Budgets still get approved. Policies still move forward. Someone still needs to be paying attention.

If The Palm Springs Post has become part of your daily routine — or if you simply believe Palm Springs benefits from having independent local journalism — we’d be grateful for your support.

If you are able, we'd truly appreciate it if you could support our local journalism with a monthly donation or make a one-time contribution.

We’re not asking you to save journalism or fix the media industry.

We’re asking you to support the specific work of covering Palm Springs fairly, consistently, and independently.

The Palm Springs Post exists because readers here decided local journalism was worth supporting.

Thank you for reading. And thank you for helping us keep going.

P.S. — We never put our stories behind a paywall because vital information about your city should be free for everyone. That means we rely entirely on readers like you. If Palm Springs matters to you, please consider a donation.
