San Francisco Weekly
Once a prominent alternative weekly, this publication gained a reputation for its investigative journalism, hard-hitting cultural coverage, and outspoken voice on local San Francisco politics. It served as a vital progressive counterpoint to mainstream media, chronicling the city's shifting social landscape for decades before transitioning into an exclusively digital platform.
MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN SAN FRANCISCO
Dominating the regional media market, local print journalism is anchored by a single major broadsheet alongside a historically robust alternative and community press. The Hearst-owned San Francisco Chronicle leads the area in circulation, operating alongside the San Francisco Examiner, a historic former daily that transitioned to a free tabloid format. Readers are also served by specialized publications like the Bay Area Reporter, which stands as one of the oldest continuously published LGBTQ newsweeklies in the United States. Paperboy lists 12 newspapers in San Francisco.
