CalMatters, a nonprofit news organization covering California state politics and policies, launched in 2015. As of 2017, it was becoming one of the largest nonprofit newsrooms in the country, raising 90 percent of its funding from individuals with only some foundation support. It has also credited its partnership with the LA Times and Capitol Public Radio, among others, as helping to grow the organization quickly. Neil Chase has served as Chief Executive Officer since 2019. In April 2026, CalMatters received a News & Documentary Emmy Award nomination in the Outstanding Editing: News category for "Operation Return to Sender," a documentary produced in collaboration with Bellingcat and Evident Media. The documentary investigated U.S. Border Patrol raids in Kern County and was CalMatters' first venture into film production.
