Montclairian News delivers sharp, locally-rooted journalism that informs, challenges, and connects the Montclair community. With a commitment to rigorous reporting, clear context, and a conversational spark—News With A Spark—we spotlight local stories, hold power to account, and surface solutions that matter to residents, businesses, and civic leaders.

We prize curiosity, integrity, and community: curiosity to pursue underreported local stories with energy and imagination; integrity to verify facts, correct mistakes, and report without favor; and community to center the voices and needs of Montclair in every editorial choice. This blend keeps our coverage relevant and accountable, guides how we engage readers and sources, and drives partnerships that strengthen civic life.
