About Us
City News Service is the nation's largest regional wire service. We're independently owned and operated and approaching our 100th year of providing local news content for our subscribers, which include broadcast, print and digital-first media outlets, along with public affairs and governmental agencies -- all of which rely on CNS for around-the-clock coverage of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Diego counties.
CNS has reporters focusing on breaking news, public safety, city and county governments, local politics and elections, Hollywood news, and criminal, civil and federal court cases and filings, among other topics. We never rely on stringers or freelancers, nor do we use generative AI to write or report our stories, which are reviewed by CNS editors before being sent to subscribers.
Our subscribers also depend on our daily and week-ahead listings of scheduled events and court cases in our coverage area, as well as advisories on a just-scheduled news conference or breaking news development such as a trial verdict or major police or fire emergency.
Our 24/7 newsroom can be counted on to deliver timely, accurate AP-style news stories on the important topics that impact millions of people in our four-county coverage area
