The staff of The Orange County Tribune wishes you a safe and fun New Year’s Eve and a great New Year. After all the trauma of 2020, we can – we hope – look forward in 2021 to the conquest of the coronavirus, progress toward national unity and social justice, as well as eating in restaurants, seeing movies in cinemas, the re-opening of schools and colleges, and gathering together at home and elsewhere.

While this was a rough year for many, it was actually a record year for The Tribune. People in the cities of Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Stanton and Westminster increasingly have turned to The Tribune for our non-partisan coverage of news, arts, opinion and sports. Our readership has more than doubled since last year, and is closing in on one million views.

So, our thanks again to our readers, advertisers and other supporters. Real journalism still matters, and you matter to us at The Orange County Tribune.

Let’s make 2021 a very, very good year.
