About Honolulu Wire
Our Mission
Honolulu Wire is an independent online news magazine dedicated to covering the stories that matter most to Honolulu’s residents — from the small businesses shaping our neighborhoods to the community events that bring us together.
We believe local journalism should be accessible, accurate, and deeply connected to the community it serves. Our coverage focuses on the people, companies, and events that make Honolulu one of the most vibrant cities in the Pacific.
What We Cover
Our reporting spans the topics that affect daily life in Honolulu:
- Local News — Breaking stories and in-depth reporting on what’s happening across Oahu
- Business — Profiles of local companies, startup news, and economic development
- Events — Festivals, community gatherings, and cultural celebrations
- Food & Dining — Restaurant openings, chef spotlights, and the evolving food scene
- Arts & Culture — Music, theater, galleries, and the creative community
- Real Estate & Development — Housing market updates and major development projects
- Government & Politics — City, county, and state decisions that impact residents
- Community — Neighborhood stories, volunteer efforts, and local voices
Our Coverage Area
While our primary focus is the City and County of Honolulu, we cover stories from across Oahu — from the North Shore to Hawaii Kai, Kailua to Kapolei, and everywhere in between. When statewide news affects Honolulu residents, we cover that too.
Editorial Standards
