About Us - Philosophy

Silicon Valley Community Newspapers publishes 11 local community newspapers in Santa Clara County: the Los Gatos Weekly-Times, Los Gatos Weekender, Saratoga News, Willow Glen Resident, Campbell Reporter, Cupertino Courier, Sunnyvale Sun, Rose Garden Resident, Almaden Resident, West San Jose Resident, and Cambrian Resident.

We serve each of the neighborhoods and cities in our publication areas by providing "fiercely local" news and feature stories about people, events, schools, businesses, sports and government, with particular emphasis on the impact of local government decisions on our readers. In all of our newspapers, we are committed to fair and balanced coverage.

We support the local business community with reasonably priced advertising that reaches local readers or target audiences in a combination of our other community papers. We also support each of our communities through sponsorship of art and civic programs.

When we take editorial positions or endorse candidates, we use as our philosophical compass the following guiding principles: We support smart growth, economic vitality, historic preservation, inclusiveness, environmentally sound planning, quality education, open government and the arts.
