Our mission is to help people in local communities be more informed, in only a few minutes a day.

sbMet helps people understand their community, at a glance.

For Santa Barbara.
For everyone.

The Newsgrid

The Newsgrid is our hosted online headline reader. It collects links to stories from outlets around the county and beyond. It's been online daily for over 12 years!

The Eventsgrid
