Launched in 1999 to put the revolutionary power of the Internet into the hands of our foothill and mountain communities, YubaNet.com delivers daily news to the Sierra, from the Sierra. Our newsroom overlooks the Yuba River just outside historic Nevada City, California, hence our name. In addition to original news stories and links to a myriad of online resources, YubaNet.com is a forum for top-notch citizen journalism, putting readers in control of the site's content. Contributors from all corners of the Sierra - including businesses, non-profits, government agencies, universities, community groups, artists, musicians and others - submit their news, events and commentary.
