Noozhawk is Santa Barbara County’s online newspaper, reporting on local news and issues since expanding beyond Santa Barbara to the northern county in 2014.
Reports say reporters from Noozhawk and KEYT were detained near a private missile-operators training facility at Vandenberg Space Force Base ahead of a groundbreaking ceremony. A Space Launch Delta 30 official calls the incident a breakdown in communication; detainees were released after about 30 minutes, with no injuries reported.
