Mission
The Desert Trumpet is a local news publication which seeks to increase political engagement and encourage a participatory political process by reporting on city government. Our focus is on Twentynine Palms and Yucca Valley as well as Joshua Tree and other unincorporated areas of the Morongo Basin. Our goal is to report on social justice, equity and environmental issues throughout the Morongo Basin, as well as provide a forum for residents to interact on these issues.
