Publisher’s Perspective: Keeping Our Readers Informed

Here at Irvine Community News & Views, we take our mission very seriously.  Community newspapers like ours serve as an important part of civil society, providing critical information to citizens, spotlighting important local issues, and serving as a watchdog against abuses by those in power.

Right now, our job is to make sure that our readers have access to the very latest information regarding the coronavirus and its impact on our City.

In addition to posting the latest community news and critical resource links, our staff has compiled a variety of free resources to keep you and your family engaged and even entertained during this period of social distancing.
