Lake Tahoe News’ mission is to provide readers news and timely information about what is going on throughout the Lake Tahoe Basin. It is the only place to get news about Lake Tahoe seven days a week. It is not affiliated with any other media.
It’s a combination of hard news, features, outdoors and events. Stories are about people who live here and have a connection to the Sierra Nevada, as well as interesting articles from beyond the basin that touch the lives of those who live here, have second homes and are visitors.
