Why subscribe?
The North County Pipeline is a digital publication with original information about North County San Diego you won’t find anywhere else.
I’ll deliver essential news, community events and insights you need to understand the region through the lens of an experienced, award-winning local journalist whose been in the industry for nearly 20 years.
Readers depend on honest journalism to cut through the noise and give them important and interesting local insights relevant to their lives. I’ve spent years at community newspapers starting my career with The Greeley (Colo.) Tribune, Windsor Now!, Lahontan Valley News and The Coast News in Encinitas where I covered all North County cities, the county, SANDAG, features on the movers, shakers, business and interesting people who make this region like no place else.
The Pipeline is a locally owned media company distributing original information about North County in a newsletter. We’ll grow together and as such, we will expand as one, while our anchor newsletter, the North County Grapevine (or The Grapevine), will always remain free.
The Grapevine will consolidate as many events in North County as possible. I encourage nonprofits, community groups, business associations, local governments and the like to submit their events to The Grapevine to expand the reach of their events.
The Pipeline was founded in 2023 to increase news and event coverage in North County. Our local landscape deserves more hyperlocal coverage to bring our readers events, news and information impacting their lives. I also want to thank Carlsbad-based artist Ray Goudey for the company-branded graphics and logos used for this publication.
