This page lists selected public references, citations, historical records, and media mentions related to the Information Press name. Our current website, informationpress.net , is a California-focused digital news project covering government, housing, transportation, business, finance, climate, education, healthcare, technology, consumer affairs, and community developments.
Information Press traces its historical name to a Central Coast monthly publication associated with 1991. The contemporary digital project began a new chapter in 2026. Historical references do not establish continuous operation, unchanged ownership, legal succession, or endorsement of the current digital publication. We identify the nature of every reference below to avoid overstating what it demonstrates.
Historical References, Newest First
The following reports refer to the historical Information Press publication in connection with local political coverage. They were not written as evaluations, reviews, or endorsements of the present-day Information Press project. A dated reference documents a particular mention in its original context. It should not be read as proof that the external outlet endorses the current digital publication or that a past commercial relationship still exists.
The dated references below concern the earlier publication; they should not be confused with current partnerships or proof of uninterrupted ownership through the 2026 digital relaunch.

Cal Coast News: October 2, 2020
Outlet: Cal Coast News. Article: Sweeney leads high-dollar SLO fundraising race . Byline: Josh Friedman. Context: Reporting on campaign fundraising in a San Luis Obispo mayoral and city council race.
The article refers to a 2020 mayoral candidate as the publisher of a progressive local news outlet called Information Press. The reference is part of a broader report about campaign financing; it is not an independent appraisal of the news outlet's performance, an endorsement of its reporting, or coverage of the 2026 digital relaunch.
Original source: Cal Coast News: October 2, 2020 . The date and article context are taken from the publication itself.

News Channel 3-12 (KEYT): September 29, 2020
Outlet: News Channel 3-12. Article: Sandra Marshall . Format: Local election candidate profile and questionnaire. Context: Candidate information concerning the 2020 San Luis Obispo mayoral election.
The candidate's response describes having created and published the earlier Information Press as a free monthly publication. This is an attributable reference contained in a media outlet's candidate profile, not an independently investigated verification of the complete historical account . It is not a professional interview with a representative of the 2026 digital site or an endorsement of its current editorial activities.

Central Coast Bioneers: 2012 Conference Program
Publisher of document: Central Coast Bioneers / Ecologistics. Document: 2012 Central Coast Bioneers Conference Program . Type: Historical organizational record, not independent news reporting.
The conference program includes the earlier Information Press in its acknowledgments and sponsor list. It also identifies Information Press as the sponsor of a workshop concerning California benefit and flexible-purpose corporations. These are documented references to the earlier publication's community involvement in 2012.
This reference should not be described as a current event partnership, present-day financial sponsorship, institutional accreditation, journalism award, or independent media review. No existing relationship between the 2012 conference and the relaunched 2026 Information Press is asserted.

What These Records Can - and Cannot - Establish
Readers searching for a publication name may find older materials associated with different periods, organizations, editors, or individuals. A shared name is not by itself proof that the same legal publisher, staff, or governance structure continued throughout those periods. A mention of a publication name, an individual's account of a past project, and a historical program listing are different kinds of evidence. None independently establishes present ownership, staffing, or uninterrupted operation.
Information Press therefore distinguishes the historical publication identity from its present digital activities. Past mentions help document how the name appeared in earlier Central Coast public life, but they do not authenticate current ownership, demonstrate uninterrupted publishing since 1991, or establish present-day newsroom credentials.
Other Categories of External References
- Interviews and expert commentary
-
An interview or expert quotation can demonstrate outside interest in a publication only when the source, participants, date, and context are identifiable. A candidate questionnaire mentioning a historic publication should not be relabeled as an interview with the current news organization. Any future item should be described according to what the underlying source actually says, rather than being promoted from an incidental citation into an award, partnership, or recommendation.
We do not currently list verified interviews or expert commentary from independent media outlets attributable to representatives of the 2026 relaunched Information Press. New verified references may be added with an original link and a description of the participant's actual role. We will not invent a spokesperson, interview date, expert qualification, or speaking engagement to fill this section.
- Press releases and announcements
-
Press releases and syndicated announcements are promotional or organizational communications, even when they are distributed through sites that also publish editorial news. Distribution by a third-party service does not turn an announcement into independent reporting.
This page concentrates on the historical references listed above. If announcements become available, we intend to identify the publisher, release date, subject, and whether the item is promotional distribution or original independent coverage. The publication does not claim a media campaign, public-relations agency relationship, or broad press recognition based on the absence of such evidence.
- Directories, partnerships, and external profiles
-
Professional directories can help readers locate publications, but they are not equivalent to independent reporting or endorsements. Only entries directly attributable to Information Press should be treated as its official profiles. Historical mentions must remain labeled as historical, not current partnerships.
A service named here is an illustrative example of a directory, not a claimed partnership. Official social accounts and structured
sameAslinks should only be added when the actual account and editorial control have been verified. Historic sponsorships must remain labeled historical rather than presented alongside active commercial partnerships.
How to Cite the Publication
For ordinary references to the current digital publication, the preferred attribution is “Source: Information Press, https://informationpress.net/.” When citing a specific article, include the article title, publication name, publication date where available, and direct original URL. Accurate citation should allow a reader to identify the actual page or work being discussed. Reusing a historical reference without its date can create a misleading impression of current recognition.
For historical reporting, cite the original historical source rather than describing it as material published by the current project. Quoting a small passage may be permitted with appropriate attribution under applicable law; substantial reproduction, translation, image reuse, and syndication may require permission from the relevant rights holder. Contact partnerships@informationpress.net for rights or syndication inquiries.
Logos, Endorsement, and Accurate Presentation
We identify third-party publications by their names and original links. We do not reproduce their logos, seals, or branding without an appropriate basis for use. A mention on this page does not mean a publisher endorses Information Press, has approved the page, funds its operations, or collaborates with its current editorial project. The right to describe a historical mention is distinct from permission to reproduce another organization's logo or imply its approval of our work.
Descriptions are limited to what each reference actually establishes. If a linked article changes or a record is found to be inaccurate, we may correct the description or remove the link. We do not count press-release syndication, self-published directory entries, or promotional placements as equivalent to independent editorial mentions.
Submit a Reference or Request a Correction
If you know of an independent article, citation, archive, event record, or interview that refers to Information Press, contact earthday@informationpress.net . Include the original URL, outlet or organization, date, relevant excerpt or location within the source, and why it concerns the historical publication or the present digital project.
For a factual correction, describe the error and provide supporting evidence to corrections@informationpress.net . Submission does not guarantee inclusion. We select references for accuracy, relevance, and clear context, not for apparent prestige or an implied endorsement.
