The

After 60 years at the West Covina location, the newspaper moved its operations to Monrovia, with daily local news coverage which includes city government, public education, public safety, transportation issues, entertainment, lifestyle, and editorials. The newspaper has received a number of awards, including best in front page category from the California Newspaper Publishers Association among suburban area dailies. It publishes the annual So Cal Prep Legends high school football magazine with coverage from the San Fernando Valley, the San Gabriel/Pomona Valleys, the Whittier area, the South Bay, Long Beach/Gateway Cities, Orange County, western and central Riverside County and San Bernardino Valley, published in late August.
