And crucial to that decade of storytelling has been telling California’s story through photographs and illustrations.

Each part of CalMatters journalism builds a stronger relationship between the community and our government: from public record and quotes to words, visuals and data interactives. Here, we have some of the stand-out visual journalism over CalMatters’ decade of journalism.
