Four years of stories. Thanks to you.
Will you help fund our fifth year?
Four years ago today, I launched The Berkeley Scanner. I’ve now spent 14 years covering Berkeley news.
This past week, we've prioritized City Council Q&As to help you get informed before your ballot comes.
"Thank you to TBS for putting this together. Best impartial collection of information on these candidates I have so far encountered," one reader told us.
Over the weekend, we brought you breaking news, including about a UC Berkeley student who was struck by a driver while crossing the street. He remains in critical condition.
Even with our limited resources, we do our best to cover important stories whenever they happen.
Other news outlets have now picked up our stories, bringing that reporting to even more readers.
Since launching TBS in 2022, we’ve published more than 1,500 stories that might otherwise have gone untold. Help us tell the next 1,500 →
Our goal for our 4th birthday is to raise $5,000 from at least 40 readers. We're closing in, but we still need your help to reach our goal.
Will you support The Scanner today?
More people are reading TBS than a year ago. As we head into year five, we’re asking more readers to help pay for the reporting, too.
Thank you for being part of The Scanner’s first four years.

Founder, The Berkeley Scanner
