CalBuzz Classics

From 2009-2022, veteran political writers Jerry Roberts and Phil Trounstine published more than 1,000 pieces about California and national politics at the popular website they co-founded: Calbuzz.com. 

Calbuzz was a unique and consequential voice in California journalism for more than a decade. It helped to set the agenda, and to deepen and enliven coverage of politics and government in the state, at a time when the internet, social media and the decline of legacy media transformed journalism.

Phil’s death in 2022 marked the end of Calbuzz and, for several years, this singular chapter of political journalism disappeared from the public record. 

Now the entire Calbuzz archive has been resurrected for researchers, or for anyone who wants to revisit a distinctive, memorable – and entertaining – moment in California history.
