Rural Reporting Project

Farm buildings sit on the floor of the Sierra Valley, which straddles Sierra and Plumas Counties. This area is the subject of CapRadio’s Rural Reporting Project in summer 2020.

Just like other parts of California, the effects of the coronavirus pandemic are reverberating throughout rural communities. But the type and scale of impact is different, and so are the ways people are coping.  

This summer, CapRadio and North State Public Radio are teaming up to explore the effects of COVID-19 in Plumas and Sierra counties, two rural areas along California’s Sierra Nevada. We’re collaborating with community partners to listen, learn and report the unique challenges rural places are facing, and their creative solutions.

Thanks to our community partners:
