ABOUT SALINAS STORIES

A local magazine built by looking closer.

Salinas Stories exists to document the city with care: its people, neighborhoods, culture, agriculture, public spaces and everyday changes.

OUR PURPOSE

Useful, specific and accountable local publishing

01

Report what is confirmed

Dates, public projects, opening information and changing conditions should be checked against current authoritative sources.

02

Represent people with dignity

Stories should avoid stereotypes, extractive storytelling and images that reduce communities to scenery.

03

Correct mistakes clearly

Material errors should be corrected promptly, with an explanation when the change affects the meaning of a story.

CONTRIBUTE

The publication should make room for community knowledge.

Residents can suggest story ideas, point editors toward public records, share historical material or identify missing context. Submission does not guarantee publication, and every contribution should be reviewed and verified before use.
