UKIAH, CA., 12/24/25 – The Mendocino Voice and partner organizations will hold a community listening session at Mendocino College on Jan. 13, to learn about the news coverage needs of Mendocino County’s Native American communities.
As part of plans to develop a journalism training program and expand coverage of Native American affairs, The Mendocino Voice hopes to hear how it can expand coverage to better meet local news and information needs.
