Join us for a night of music, food and community as we celebrate the launch of Daylight San Diego, our community-focused, nonprofit newsroom. Over the past year, we’ve heard a common theme in our listening sessions: people are exhausted by the constant stream of negative headlines and disconnected from the stories that truly matter to them. That’s why we’re building something different. At a time when trust in media is low and corporate outlets are pulling back on local coverage, Daylight San Diego offers a refreshing alternative — an independent, community-powered newsroom focused on amplifying the voices of those too often left out of traditional narratives. From Gen Z and Millennial changemakers to immigrants, caregivers, communities of color and San Diegans navigating a tough economy, we’re here to tell the stories that you care about. This isn’t just a party — it’s an investment in a new era of local journalism. One rooted in transparency, inclusion and collaboration. More than anything, it's an opportunity for us to celebrate YOU — the community members and supporters who have entrusted us with your stories and believe in the power of storytelling to build a stronger, more connected San Diego. Tickets are available now — and if you can’t attend in person, you can still support our mission by purchasing a Support From Afar ticket, or reach out to co-founder Lauren J. Mapp to become an event sponsor at lauren@daylightsandiego.org. The evening will include music, great food and the chance to win curated prizes through our silent auction and opportunity drawing. All proceeds will go toward our $50,000 campaign to fund Daylight’s early reporting and operations. Save the date, bring a friend and help light the way forward. Together, we can tell the stories San Diegans need most.

IDs will be checked at the door. Who We Are Daylight San Diego is a nonprofit newsroom dedicated to serving younger and underserved communities with impactful, people-first journalism. We believe local news should be accessible, community-rooted and focused on solutions — not just problems. Through deep listening, on-the-ground reporting and partnerships with local organizations, we’re illuminating the issues that matter most: housing, education, climate, equity, arts and more. We've already begun publishing stories that center people’s lived experiences — and this launch party marks the start of an even brighter future. Daylight San Diego on Facebook / Instagram
