Why don't you try working with Oaklandside to fund a reporter that covers your criteria (writing style, neutral adjectives; "beat" definition). They already have a large Oakland readership and I'll bet there is a substantial overlap. This would be a much more efficient use of your funds. Thanks for all your efforts in starting Oakland Report.

Oaklandside is suicide. A highly partisan, amateur, political advocacy organization with partisans posing as professional journalists.

Thank you for what you have done over the years. The youth need your work to reach to the stars and to inspire them with the true vision of a future. God created us in his image to discover new physical principles. While I can not be a new leader for your publication, I will do what I can do, which is to run and become the next Mayor of Oakland. Mindy Pechenuk, candidate for Oakland Mayor 2026

The work you have done is so valuable- the articles have been full of thorough research and great insight. I hope new leadership can be found and that you still (at least occasionally) contribute your articles Tim. Best of luck with it all !

I do not recall getting emails or articles from you. Can you send some recent articles for more background? I would seriously consider donating to your efforts if I knew more about your news gathering.

Thank you for all you’ve done to daylight the corruption and incompetence in Oakland government. It’s depressing that the frustration of dealing with that incompetence has potentially led to the demise of the publication, because I think the kind of work you have been doing is essential if we are ever to get reasonable “leadership” and competent administration in this city. I hope someone new steps up to carry the torch.
