he headlines may be fading, but the stories live on. After 124 years of chronicling Hemet’s journey, the Hemet News is closing its doors.

Since 1900, the Hemet News has been a pillar of the community, weaving the tapestry of local life through its pages. Whether it was covering city council debates, celebrating local heroes, or reporting on the heart of Hemet’s culture, the News served as a trusted source of information and a platform for community voices.

The path leading to this closure remains undisclosed, but it signifies a changing landscape for local journalism. However, the Hemet News leaves an undeniable legacy. It held power to account, voices to amplify, and stories to preserve for generations.

We at HN offer our heartfelt gratitude to the Hemet News team and its loyal readers. While the printing presses may stop, the spirit of the Hemet News – its dedication to community and commitment to truth – will undoubtedly continue to inspire.
