California Northern Magazine is a biannual publication exploring the region's cultures, environments, histories, and identities. It provides a rare California-based forum for exceptional essays, long-form journalism, literature, and photography, and distinguishes itself from traditional regional media by balancing its local emphasis with a level of sophistication and depth typically found in larger national publications.

California Northern Magazine seeks to provide a deeper understanding of our region, foster strong local identity, encourage communication among residents, and advocate for more community-based economies.
