Mission Statement
The Alameda Post serves the community by reporting current news and information, promoting community groups, diversity, and cultural awareness, and preserving Alameda’s history for future generations.
About the Alameda Post
The Alameda Post is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, digital-only local news site focused on providing accurate, fact-based reporting on the diverse city of Alameda, CA. Our mission is to meet the local news and information needs of the 75,000 people who call our San Francisco Bay city home.
We published our first post on December 13, 2021, and started publishing daily at the beginning of 2022. We publish several articles daily, with a focus on local government, housing and development, arts and culture, and other items about goings-on in the 94501 and 94502 ZIP codes. Most of the stories we cover are not covered by anyone else.
In addition to our website, we publish a weekly email news digest with over 3,700 subscribers, and our weekly podcast, the AlamedaPostCast hosted by Scott Piehler, is Alameda’s only news podcast—available in all podcast directories. Our ongoing Alameda history walking tours, led by historian, Dennis Evanosky, educate and inform our residents about our community’s rich history.

Our content is available to thousands more via Apple News, MSN, Google News, NewsBreak, SmartNews, and from our social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, BlueSky, TikTok, Mastodon, Threads, Nextdoor, Reddit, and YouTube.
