The Chico Beat was founded to discover, dissect and disclose information and data on local affairs that may have escaped the attention of our local citizens. Often times, these affairs are so clouded and cloaked in mumbo-jumbo and BS that the reader begins to drown in it—and chooses to ignore digging any deeper.

The Beat’s goals are to gather information and data… present it in a simple understandable way—and let our readers decide the pros and cons for themselves. We believe in “unvarnished information”.

If you’re looking for someone or a group to help you form your opinions and positions on a matter… look elsewhere—we’re not your source, as we’re not in the “opinion” or “position” forming business—the Chico Beat solely discloses information and data so folks can make up their own minds!  You will find “Beat comments:” and guest “comments” from folks who have provided us with data and information for our articles… if you find those comments are helpful to clarify an issue, great—but use your own common sense to determine their value.

The Beat does not cover state or national news, and you will not see new articles every day or week… but the ones we publish—will be worth reading and following until they’ve run their course.

The folks at the Beat are simple KISS principled analog human beings, in that respect—The Chico Beat does not advertise, nor does it accept advertisements. You’ll find the Beat on Facebook so that our articles are able to reach a larger group of thinking people… there are no pop-up ads on our website or in any of our articles… we are not a for-profit or a non-profit organization—and we do not accept donations or gratuities. Simply put…

If you see us on the web and find our articles worthwhile reading—we have accomplished our goals!

Enjoy your day!… as tomorrow is promised to no one.
