Chevron has been reported to own and control a network of news sites in various locations, including Richmond, CA, and the Permian Basin. In Richmond, Chevron is the largest employer, taxpayer, and polluter, and also owns the local news outlet, the Richmond Standard. This control has led to concerns about the lack of coverage on refinery-related issues in the community.
Chevron is Richmond’s largest employer, largest taxpayer and largest polluter. Yet when it comes to writing about Chevron, the California city’s local news source consistently toes the company line. There’s a reason for that: Chevron owns the news site. https://t.co/LkQaO8SGUZ

Here is a good piece by NPR and Floodlight on how Chevron is backing "news" sites in communities in which it operates. The Richmond, CA site is run by @Samsinger's PR outfit. There aren't many articles on gas flares and leaks. #journalism https://t.co/XX74xDZ5Ox
