Southern California InFocus is a free monthly newspaper that serves the Muslim community in California. The paper was started in Anaheim, California on February 4 2005, and claims to be the largest Muslim newspaper in California. The paper claims a circulation of 25,000 copies throughout California. Its managing editor is Asma Ahmad and its Deputy Editor is Muneer Adhami.
According to the paper's website:
As the focus of the newspaper has been Southern California, most importantly, it is serving to document the rich history of Muslims in the Southland – past and present. Through feature stories, mosque profiles, interviews of individuals who have made a difference, and in-depth coverage of news stories affecting Muslims, InFocus is the first localized effort in Southern California to record the American Muslim experience. For American Muslims, it is a platform which brings forth issues of their concern. For the larger community, it is a window into the Muslim world right here in California.
InFocus is published out of The Council on American-Islamic Relations's office in Anaheim, and according to the Anti-Defamation League it "is subsidized by CAIR". Americans Against Hate has described it as "CAIR-California's monthly tabloid". Its editor claims that it is 'editorially independent,' according to the Los Angeles Times." The ADL has criticized the paper for reprinting what it claims was an anti-Semitic opinion piece from a Saudi paper.
