Consumer Voice: Your Orange County Story Matters

Be Our Source: Report a Local Issue or Share a Story

The Local Aim is growing, as an essential source for local news and consumer advocacy and small business excellence

If you have an issue with a local business, a tip on a trend impacting your neighborhood, or a story that needs telling, we want to hear it. We commit to reading every submission, seeking out patterns of misconduct, and pursuing verified stories to hold the powerful accountable—all while protecting your identity unless you give us explicit permission to publish. Help us ensure our coverage is focused on what truly matters to your community.

Please Read Before Submitting:

1. Journalistic Purpose: By submitting this form, you understand that you are providing information to The Local Aim for journalistic purposes only. This is not a formal legal complaint and does not initiate a legal case. We are not a law firm, and we do not provide legal advice.

2. Use of Information: You grant The Local Aim permission to use the information, photos, and documents you provide—including the names of the consumer, the business, and the owner—for investigation, verification, news reporting, and other editorial activities.

3. Privacy & Publication: We will never publish your personal identifying information (Your Name, Email, Phone Number) without obtaining your explicit permission first. However, you acknowledge that in the course of our investigation, we may contact the named business/owner to seek a response or comment, which may involve disclosing the specific details of your complaint (the story) to them.
