History
Voice of San Diego is an online daily founded on Feb. 9, 2005 by Buzz Woolley and Neil Morgan, and run jointly by CEO Scott Lewis and editor Andrew Donohue. The website began in 2005 with a staff of four, and has expanded to a paid staff of 14. It relies on a funding mix of foundation grants, member donations and advertising.
The website focuses largely on local quality-of-life issues. It began primarily as a reporting source on local government and politics, and has slowly grown to include coverage of education, housing, environment, public safety, and science and technology. In addition to its news stories, it also publishes house editorials, fact-based columns, contributions from community members, and a stable of regular blogs. The site does not try to be a traditional newspaper; rather, it focuses on a specific number of issues and attempts to bring them great depth.
The site updates regularly throughout the day with news and analysis.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“In history the great moment is, when the savage is just ceasing to be a savage, with all his hairy Pelasgic strength directed on his opening sense of beauty;—and you have Pericles and Phidias,—and not yet passed over into the Corinthian civility. Everything good in nature and in the world is in that moment of transition, when the swarthy juices still flow plentifully from nature, but their astrigency or acridity is got out by ethics and humanity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Anything in history or nature that can be described as changing steadily can be seen as heading toward catastrophe.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
