About The Northwest Voice
Welcome to The Northwest Voice, a community newspaper and Web site serving residents of Northwest Bakersfield.
The Northwest Voice is a free newspaper that is mailed to 10,500 subscribers every other Wednesday. Our Web site is updated daily and includes even more news and pictures.
The Northwest Voice is all about down-home news, told from your perspective. Most of the information and pictures in The Voice are submitted by readers, community organizations, churches and schools. We hope you'll participate!
Our policy is to publish all contributions on our Web site and include as many as possible in the print edition. To learn how to contribute, click on the graphic at the top of this page.
In addition to reader contributions, The Northwest Voice features articles written by our editor and information about land development, home sale prices and other issues of interest to the community.
The Northwest Voice is also a great way to learn about area businesses, with advertising that keeps you in the loop about the latest local services, restaurants, shops and deals.
The Voice is operated by Mercado Nuevo, an independent subsidiary of The Bakersfield Californian.
We look forward to your participation and feedback as we build The Northwest Voice together!
