The LA Local
Los Angeles is a dynamic blend of ideas represented through its various neighborhoods, each with their own unique identity, issues, and narratives that resonate throughout the city. There was a need for a bold new perspective on local journalism that mirrors this complexity. We envisioned an innovative network of newsrooms that amplify the voices and visibility of different communities while sharing resources to cover the city comprehensively. This network aims to bridge reporting gaps, rebuild trust, and maintain journalism that caters to all of LA. We created the brand strategy, name, and visual identity for The LA Local, which reflects the organization’s commitment to journalism that enhances both local communities and the broader Los Angeles area. The unique colors in the logo represent the vibrancy and cultural richness of LA neighborhoods, while the modern, bold typography indicates a commitment to innovative journalism. The LA Local engages with communities by providing news that addresses local concerns, reliable information that influences daily life, and independent reporting that holds leaders accountable. The LA Local amplifies the voices of those who make your community central to the narrative, ensuring you stay connected to important issues, the heartbeat of your neighborhood, and the shared future of LA. This is local journalism that prioritizes your interests, strengthens your community, and honors our Los Angeles.
