Building a
network of
truth.
A nationwide bilingual newsroom platform built to cover what mainstream media won't. 28 local outlets. 9 states. 100+ journalists and creators. One mission — restore trust in journalism.
A national audience
at local scale.
Most "local news" is wire copy with a city name swapped in. LMF runs the opposite play: locally-staffed newsrooms in regions national outlets ignore, distributed through a national content engine. Our 2025 footprint reached the equivalent of 1 in every 3.5 Americans with at least one piece of content.

Where the eyeballs are
Annual views by regionWhy video matters
News on social — under 35Over half of Americans under 35 say social and video are now their primary news source. LMF was built for this audience — 90% of our output is video.
California isn't
a market. It's the market.
The world's 5th-largest economy. The country's most populous state. The cultural export engine for the rest of America. Whoever wins the narrative in California writes the script everyone else reads next.
The audience
behind the numbers.
California is 39.5 million people — larger than Canada. It contains the 2nd-largest TV market in the country (Los Angeles, 5.8M households), the most diverse electorate in the union, and a Republican voter base of 5.8 million — bigger than the entire population of 30 other states.
Mainstream coverage of California treats it as a monolith. It isn't. LMF reaches the audiences the legacy outlets ignore: working-class Latinos, suburban families, inland communities, and the millions of right-leaning, no-party-preference, and persuadable voters mainstream media writes off.
No racial or ethnic group is a majority. CA is a preview of America in 2050.
For context.
Our 50M California views in 2025 puts our reach in conversation with much larger institutions.
The CA electorate
23M registered votersMainstream media treats California as solid blue. The math says otherwise: nearly half the state — 10.9M voters — is non-Democrat. That's the audience we serve.
The Latino opportunity
CA's largest ethnic group16.1M Latinos live in California — more than any other state. LMF's bilingual brands (Hablemos Claro, La Pura Neta) serve this audience with values-aligned reporting in their language.
Courier.
If LMF is the network, California Courier is the front door. It carries the state's name in its masthead, anchors our nine-outlet California operation, and serves as the platform where statewide investigations land first.
Position
The only LMF property branded for the entire state. While SoCal Daily Pulse, The Angeleno, San Diego Signal, and HB Beat go deep on regions, California Courier owns the statewide conversation — capitol coverage, statewide investigations, and stories that cross county lines.
Brand authority
"California Courier" reads as institutional — a name a reader would expect to see on a 100-year-old paper of record. That credibility gives partners, sources, and lawmakers a recognizable banner to engage with, and gives sponsors a flagship-tier placement.
Messaging power
California is where national narratives are manufactured: wildfire policy, immigration, energy, crime, free speech. The Courier is where LMF challenges those narratives at the source — including our 2025 Pacific Palisades fire investigation, which exposed mismanagement of LA County's most destructive fire ever.
Audience leverage
Statewide reach unlocks the full California demographic stack: 39.5M residents, 23M voters, 16.1M Latinos, and the 5.8M LA TV-household DMA. A flagship banner partnership with the Courier puts a brand or campaign in front of all of it through one masthead.
Statewide credibility
Carries California in its name. Built to be the reference brand for the state — the outlet sources, lawmakers, and other journalists cite first.
Investigative anchor
Home of LMF's 2025 Pacific Palisades fire investigation. Where high-production, document-driven reporting lives, distributed through the full national pipe.
Network multiplier
Stories originate at the Courier and amplify out through 27 sister outlets, Spanish-language brands, and 100+ creators. One placement, statewide-to-national reach.

The mission lives where the audience lives.
YouTube. TikTok. Instagram. Facebook. California Courier publishes across every platform where Californians actually consume news — not just where the legacy press still expects them to.
90% of LMF content is video. That's not a stylistic choice — it's a strategic one. Over half of Americans under 35 say social and video are now their primary news source, and that's exactly where Lincoln Media's California flagship is built to win.
