CSUSB professor comments on Inland Empire’s lack of news resources

March 5, 2025

The project comes at a time when the mainstays of local news across the Inland Empire — publications like the Press-Enterprise and San Bernardino Sun — have slowly been gutted, losing the reporters needed for substantive coverage, said Corrigan.
“The four dailies in the San Bernardino, Riverside, Ontario and Redlands communities, those papers just duplicate one another’s content,” Corrigan said. “When it comes to our news resources, it’s rather thin.”
