Just weeks after Malibu officials lined up with golden shovels at the April 11 groundbreaking for the city’s long-awaited permanent skatepark, City Hall quietly attempted to slam the gates shut on the beloved temporary facility—before a single scoop of dirt had been turned. Their plan? Dismantle the temporary skatepark on Sunday, April 27 with barely…
On May 10, the same politicians who fumbled Malibu into chaos – Mayor Doug Stewart, Mikke Pierson, Karen Farrer, Paul Grisanti, and Lou La Monte—will gather at a private estate to raise money for Sheriff Robert Luna, a man whose tenure has been defined by disaster, deflection, and death.

Editor-in-Chief Cece Woods founded Malibu Daily News in 2021.
Woods began publishing in 2013, creating the lifestyle publication 90265 Magazine. One year later, she launched The Local Malibu, an activism-based platform, in 2014.
The publication was instrumental in the success of two ballot measures, seating three Malibu City Councilmen in 2016, and supporting the top two vote-getters again in 2020.
During the summer of 2018, Woods exposed the law enforcement cover-up in the Malibu Creek State Park Shootings and a few short months later, provided the most comprehensive local news coverage during the Woolsey Fire attracting over 1 million hits across her social media platforms.
Woods went on to create the LA political platform The Current Report, exposing the corruption at LA Metro under Philip Washington. She worked with Federal investigators, a watchdog organization, and senators, ultimately leading to Washington withdrawing his nomination to become head of the FAA.
In 2020, Woods added Cali Mag to her extensive list of successful publications.
