Money is sending a big message in the Salinas elections.

EDITORIAL | Soon after the Salinas City Council voted 5-0 to impose new renter protections, it occurred to us that the November 5 election, way underway by the time the final drafts were formally adopted on Sept. 24, could also mean a referendum on the three final ordinances. So we asked Salinas Cit...

OPINION | By Royal Calkins Like Kamala Harris and, now, sort of, Donald Trump, I once worked at McDonald’s. It wasn’t a particularly difficult job. Mostly, it was almost as easy as he made it look. As easy as being Donald Trump. I doubt he would ever attempt anything difficult without lots of la...

Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, first female president of Mexico, is receiving a country filled with minefields. Telésforo Nava Vásquez, a political science professor from the Metropolitan Autonomous University in Mexico City, has a special two-part series on Mexico's presidential succession.

Part 1: Polarization, client politics, and manipulation to eliminate political opponents characterized the presidency of Andres Manuel López Obrador. That’s the baton he passes to his successor. By Telésforo Nava Vázquez Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo triumphed as the first female president in Mexico....

A new president has been sworn in Mexico — the first female in the country's history. Comparisons are being made between Claudia Sheinbaum, the obvious successor to former President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador — and Kamala Harris, still in the throes of the campaign. Who would be better for Mexican immigrants living in the U.S.?

By Víctor Almazán Rodríguez The first woman to be elected president of Mexico took office on October 1, 2024. But many are asking: Will Claudia Sheinbaum reverse the government's lack of attention to its citizens living abroad, or will her administration continue the policy of obliviousness that ...

Después de décadas de defensa, reuniones y luchas, la Nación Ohlone Costanoan Esselen está más cerca que nunca de recuperar parte de su propia tierra: una parcela de 84 acres frente al Aeropuerto Regional de Monterey, en el lado sur de la autopista 68, conocida como la parcela Hiss en Tarpey Flats.

Por Claudia Meléndez Salinas Traducción: Víctor Almazán Si alguna vez te has sentado junto a una fogata, poniendo al fuego bombones o malvaviscos y contando historias, tal vez puedas evocar un poquito lo que Louise Miranda Ramírez quiere recuperar. Allí, bajo las estrellas que han visto el pas...

The second INNY award Voices of Monterey Bay received was for investigative journalism in the micro division. The honor goes to Royal Calkins for his piece questioning whether the Monterey County Sheriff's Office conducted a through investigation related to the death of Aracely Zavala.

"Judges called Calkins’ work “a shining example of accountability journalism” and a “great story, well-reported, and well-told.”

Voices of Monterey Bay has received two INNY awards this year: one in the Breaking Barriers, microdivision category, with Elders: Uncle John. By Nancy Marie Spears, Julie Reynolds, and Mara J. Reynolds.

ELDERS is a “beautifully told, personal story of pain, loss and healing,” a judge wrote. “The wide range of voices, including the kids, brings the story to life and makes clear how these injustices — and attempts to remedy them — are multigenerational in scope. The cleanup of the graveyards spurred by the reporting provides a rare example of direct impact of the entry.”

Honors reporting that brought new understanding to an issue or topic affecting people or communities that are historically underrepresented, disadvantaged
