CALmatters

CALmatters is an American nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization that produces journalism to serve the public interest in California. Based in Sacramento, its award-winning enterprise projects and explanatory articles cover the following state-level issues: politics, education, environment, fiscal policy, housing, health and welfare. In 2018, it won an Online Journalism Award for its project “Californians: Here’s Why Your Housing Costs Are So High,”:[1] which told the complex story of California’s affordable housing crisis and its origins, and an EPpy Award for its California election guide.[2]

To address the declining news coverage of the state capitol due to the retrenchment of media organizations[3], CALmatters distributes its articles to media partners across the state for re-publication or broadcast to their regional and local audiences.

As of March 2019, CALmatters has 23 employees[4] – 20 in Sacramento and three in Los Angeles – and more than 170 media partners[5].

History

CALmatters was co-founded in 2015 by civic-leader and retired public relations executive Simone Coxe; Dave Lesher, former director government affairs for the Public Policy Institute of California, a public policy think tank; and Chris Boskin, a veteran of magazine publishing with a career that includes senior positions with Worth Media, The New Yorker and Hearst Communications. Coxe had grown frustrated with the lack of news and information available[6] for civic-minded citizens to stay informed and put up $1 million of her own money to help launch the news startup, telling Ken Doctor:

“There is so much complaining about how bad government is. I got fed up. Responsibility is a big thing. What is it that we could do about it? My background is information. I got into public relations with this crazy idea that citizens are responsible for themselves, but they need information from the media, when I got into this 40 years ago [at the University of California at] Berkeley … If the federal government is too big and too far away, then there’s got to be something we can do in California.”[7]
CALmatters launched on July 21, 2015 with six articles examining California’s climate policy[8].

CALmatters had an initial news staff of four, including reporters Kate Galbraith, formerly of The New York Times and Texas Tribune; Laurel Rosenhall, formerly of the Sacramento Bee;[9] Pauline Bartolone[10], an award-winning radio reporter at Capital Public Radio; and editor Gregory Favre[11], a former executive editor of the Sacramento Bee and vice president for news of McClatchy Newspapers. The editorial team has since grown to 18.

Its initial board of directors included Coxe, who still serves as chair and chief fundraiser; Campwala; Lesher; Chris Boskin, a member of the NPR national board who “is as connected in the Republican sphere as Coxe is among Democrats”;[7] and former Los Angeles Times editor and reporter Leo C. Wolinsky.

CALmatters also launched with a journalism advisory board that included: Richard Tofel, president of ProPublica; John Thornton, founder of Texas Tribune; Ernest Wilson, then Dean of the Annenberg School of Communications; Douglas McGray, Editor-in-Chief of The California Sunday Magazine and Pop-Up Magazine; and Mekahlo Medina, Emmy Award-winning technology and social media anchor and reporter for NBC4 Los Angeles and then-president of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists.[12]

In August of 2015, Lesher stepped down from the board to become the organization’s first CEO and Editor-in-Chief, as Favre moved to the board. “Dave Lesher’s vision was a driving force in the creation of CALmatters, and there is no better person to lead the organization,” Coxe said.[13]

In February of 2017, digital media executive Marcia Parker joined CALmatters as its publisher and chief operating officer.[14]

Neil Chase, a media and marketing veteran, joined CALmatters as CEO in January 2019, after Lesher relinquished the role to focus on the organization’s growing editorial operation. Chase had previously served as executive editor of The San Jose Mercury News and East Bay Times.[15]

Funding

CALmatters is a 501(c)3 organization and had an operating budget of $2.18 million in 2017, according to the most recent publicly available 990. It is funded primarily through individual donors and foundation grants. Its most significant contributors include: Mary Anne and Leonard Baker; Simone and Tench Coxe; Kristine Johnson and Tim Dattels, managing partner for TPG Asia; Laurene Powell Jobs and the Emerson Collective; the Kerfuffle Foundation; the Knight Foundation; the College Futures Foundation, the James Irvine Foundation; and the Carrie and Greg Penner Fund of the Walton Family Foundation.[16] In 2018, CALmatters launched individual, corporate and organization memberships, as well as product sponsorships.
