AMADOR COMMUNITY NEWS. We don't have a lot of bells and whistles...we don't charge a subscription fee...we don't charge an arm and a leg for advertising...we don't have gossip columns, crime reports, or depressing headlines...and we're not in the back pockets of politicians, corporate media, or socioeconomic cliques.
What we DO is serve Amador County as an independent, community news, resource and information site...for FREE!
