Desert Vortex News is dedicated to investigative reporting in the Coachella Valley and the hi-desert regions of California. We cover desert communities in the eastern territories of both Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. The team pursues in-depth, high-impact reporting on issues such as city government, education, public safety, health care and the environment. Our reporters also produce stories that hold those in power accountable, while tracking government waste and the misspending of taxpayer resources.
