Coverage on this page runs across Burbank city hall and the Los Angeles County government, Burbank Unified School District and the film, television and streaming employers that define Burbank's identity as a production hub. From the Media District and Magnolia Park to Downtown Burbank and the Airport District, neighborhood reporting extends through the city and into Orange County, Ventura County, San Bernardino County and Riverside County where a story crosses the line. The concentration of major studios and production facilities in Burbank means that entertainment industry labor agreements, studio expansion decisions and streaming platform investments are local economic stories with national implications. Bob Hope Airport operations and the air traffic and commercial development decisions tied to it are a recurring presence in Burbank local government and land-use coverage.
