We need your help

Not long ago, print ads were all that newsweeklies like CityBeat needed to thrive. It's just not the case anymore. While advertising is still the lifeblood, papers like ours across the country are forced to find new ways to pay for cutting-edge journalism.

CityBeat has been providing unique coverage of San Diego for nearly 10 years, and despite our limited resources, our impact on the local political and cultural scenes is only getting stronger and stronger. However, due to advertising landscape that's been stretched thin by the Internet, as well as the worst economy since the Depression, our ability to keep churning out our investigative new reporting, provocative opinions and top-notch arts and music coverage is in danger.

We're currently working on a number of fundraising ideas. In the meantime, you can help us right now by clicking the button below. Unfortunately, since we're not a nonprofit organization, your gift isn't tax-deductible.

If you're interested in advertising, please call 619-281-7526 or email advertising@sdcitybeat.com.
