A SNAPSHOT OF THE SANTA BARBARA INDEPENDENT
2023
Dear readers, Happy holidays from all of us at the Santa Barbara Independent. This is traditionally the season when our staff reviews the work we have accomplished over the past year: the stories our journalists have reported in our print and online publications, the goals we have set for our growth and financial success, and the organizations and people in our community we have been able to serve. In the pages that follow, we are sharing with you a snapshot of this past year and seek to give you an insight into how your hometown paper operates. None of this would be possible without your continual readership, support, and feedback. As we go into the New Year, we look forward to expanding our coverage and engagement with all of Santa Barbara.
