Here’s our best subscription deal, California state workers.
California state workers, we know your jobs have rarely felt more urgent.
Many of you can’t work from home. A pandemic has the public looking to you for essential services. A volatile economy means the entire state budget is up for negotiation.
You need news you can trust at a time like this. We’ve got you covered.
We want to give you our best subscription deal to help you navigate this uncertain time. We’ll give you two months of free access to sacbee.com before shifting to a discounted rate of $7.99 a month. Our regular monthly rate is $13.99.
We’ve done our best at The Sacramento Bee to break news that matters to you through the turbulent weeks of the coronavirus outbreak. We shared new telecommuting rules before your boss told you about them. We investigated concerns from workers who believe they’re at risk unnecessarily.
We know our work is impacting your life.
We see it in the tips you share with us, the community you’ve built at The Sacramento Bee’s State Worker Facebook page and in the growing numbers of people who’ve signed up to have our state government news delivered to their inboxes.
We hope you’ll support our work by subscribing to The Sacramento Bee. We depend on advertising and subscriptions to continue doing this work, and advertising dollars are drying up. More than ever, we need you to subscribe in order to keep you informed.
The Bee launched its State Worker beat in the throes of the last recession, when we provided vital news to public employees about furloughs, contracts and government reorganizations.
We’re still here for you.
