The Northstate Breakdown is an independent news outlet covering Shasta County, California. We focus on government accountability, community reporting, and deep-dive investigations into the issues that matter most to our neighbors.
We believe every community deserves journalism that asks hard questions and digs deep for answers. From Redding City Council meetings to county elections, from local courts to community events — we cover the stories that mainstream outlets overlook.
We live here. We work here. We care about this community because it's ours. The Northstate Breakdown is run by local people for local people.
