The Orange County Tribune continues to expand its service to readers in the communities of Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Stanton and Westminster.

Starting this week, The Tribune is an associate member of The Associated Press, a nationwide news cooperative whose origins date back to 1846.

Our membership in the AP allows us to offer a wider range of quality journalism to our readers, without reducing or de-emphasizing our local coverage.

We recently unveiled our new weekly “print” edition on Wednesdays which will allow readers to view our product in a traditional format by downloading a portable document format (PDF) and viewing it on a computer screen or printing it out on paper.

Last fall, we entered into an internship partnership with Chapman University’s journalism program that offers upper division students with real-life experience in news coverage while providing The Tribune with additional staffing.

We look forward to continuing to provide fair and non-partisan news and more to the West Orange County area as well as always looking forward to see how we can do an even better job.
