Beware of the subscriptions here, even after you stop paying they will continue the subscription…read morecharges and create an outstanding balance that is significantly higher than you would expect. It's also very difficult to cancel a subscription, the website is bugged and doesn't work properly, they force you into a phone call, where they attempt to make you pay a balance you never agreed too in the first place. They will eventually send this outstanding balance to collections to further profit off of you. Very shady business tactics and disgraceful for a news paper outlet. My family has been reading the Bee since we moved to Sacramento back in the early 60's, it's always been a reputable name. Well, not anymore. The companies been sold and the customer care is non existent. There's a reason they're going out of business and the reason is self afflicted greed, desperation and dishonesty from a failing company.

My issue is with their billing. On my Nov 2025 statement for 8 weeks, I paid $112. My February 2026 statement raised to $123. My April 2026 statement raised to $145. I called and was repeatedly told by their off-shore customer service center that they only raise their rates every 6 months, and that I am getting a bargain price since their normal price is close to $260 for 8 weeks. This is getting ridiculous, I don't want to have to call them constantly to get a decent price. If this keeps up, I'm just going to cancel and stick with the Journal.

After a few experiences of eating atac the editorial reviews of restaurants and several businesses I'm sort'a done with the magazine. The whole magazine is obviously a pay to play publication. Read any issue with the glowing reviews of a restaurant. Pull the restaurant up on Yelp and learn the truth that the restaurant barely averages 3.5 stars. That's been my constant experience with 5 recommendations. Then there's the overall magazine content. 90% of the magazine is slick advertisements both big and small. This publication should be free. It's just a chamber of commerce purely capitalistic printing that should be in airport free kiosks and hotel lobbies.

Sactown Magazine is one of the best local resources for when you're trying to get a feel about our…read moregreat city. Like many magazines, there is a fair amount of advertising, but the in-depth pieces (which are thoroughly researched and some of the best journalism in the region) are second-to-none and really reflect a passion and pride for Sacramento. I recently learned that Sactown has a much wider circulation now than Sacramento Magazine. I think this comes down to a number of factors. 1) Their graphics department is top-notch and does a consistently good job of assembling colorful and catchy cover designs to pull you in. 2) They have a finger on the pulse of stories that are current and important to their readers. I read their wonderful piece recently on the new owner of the Kings, as well as editorials on saving and preserving landmarks and the farm-to-fork movement. All are representative of what's important to Sacramento now, and the readers appreciate that. I took advantage of one of their many deals and my yearly subscription costs next to nothing. To get even one quality article on local happenings each month is well-worth the cost.

Incredible! Cannot rave about this store enough, particularly the fiction section. I felt like…read moreevery other shelf I was coming across some book that I hadn't thought about in a while, but that I had been meaning to read. The fiction section was vast & curated. I was impressed at the many quite recent publications alongside many other well-known (or lesser known but well reviewed) books. I assume they have many loyal customers engaging in buy-back. Feels like the type of place that I could stop by without any particular book in mind, and walk out with a purchase I enjoy (which is essentially exactly what I want in a bookstore). The bookstore itself has a very old-timey bookstore feel, with wooden shelves (a bit narrow), a bookish smell, some haphazard stacks of books, and the kind of reverent silence I associate with the library. I loved it.

The articles I read on here feel like they are coming from trusted friends ... and some of them are! I feel Sac Press fills a very distinct gap in our news source -- local print (well online) that is not raving to the left or hugely behemoth or full of fluff. I also like how accessible and personal it feels. I'm surprised they only have one review so far. Keep up the good work guys!!

I recently had the privilege to meet Annabelle, S. Press journalist…read more We met at the State Capitol in Nov. while celebrating Adoption Month where information was shared with others who wanted to learn about the adoption process; there was also a candle light service to honor thousands of children waiting for a home. My adopted son and I, met Annabelle who was intrigued by our story in how we became a family...what was even more interesting is that she later disclosed how she entered the foster system as a child & was later adopted. She is presently a Berkeley student who is completing her studies in journalism. In my opinion, Sacramento Press is unique, professional and strives to reach out to the Sacramento community by engaging in stories with substance.
