History:
While Dan Baker and the Standard may not be widely recognized today, they once played significant roles in Santa Ana’s historical journalistic landscape. At the heart of this vibrant history lies the essence of the Santa Ana Blade—an 1886 publication that emerged as a rival to Dan Baker’s Standard. Founded by A.J. Waterhouse and W.F.X. Parker, the Blade had a mission to elevate, cultivate, beautify, and entertain, setting forth a vision that continues to resonate in the present day.
Our Mission:
We undertake the revival of the Santa Ana Blade, not just as a newspaper but as a living testament to the ideals that guided its founders. Our mission is twofold: to uphold the spirit of civic duty, share uplifting news, and contribute to the betterment of Santa Ana; alongside empowering local residents with vital Orange County civic news.
Unbiased Reporting:
Within our newsroom, we are steadfast in our dedication to impartial reporting, assuring that the information we convey remains fair, accurate, and devoid of any partisan influence. We stand firm in our commitment to keeping the community informed about crucial local decisions and holding elected officials accountable for their actions.
Elevating Santa Ana:
A.J. Waterhouse, one of the founding publishers, once declared, “I lifted up a clarion voice against the mammon of unrighteousness.” Today, we carry that clarion forward, striving to elevate both our stories and the community we serve.
Cultivating Connections:
From the Pacific Weekly Blade to the Daily Evening Blade, the Santa Ana Blade has evolved. We aim to cultivate a sense of community through our pages, connecting past and present, and forging bonds that transcend time.
Entertaining Enlightenment:
In the spirit of Waterhouse’s desire to entertain almost everything in sight, we promise not just news but a captivating narrative that entertains while enlightening. Rediscover the joy of storytelling within the news.
