The mission of the San Francisco Public Press is to enrich civic life in San Francisco by delivering public-interest journalism to broad and diverse audiences through print and interactive media not supported by advertising.
The San Francisco Public Press (sfpublicpress.org) is a nonprofit, noncommercial news organization that produces independent public-interest journalism about under-covered topics, with a focus on under-served audiences. Our team-reporting methods, quarterly print newspaper and low-power FM radio station have attracted attention as a model for a nonprofit news organization that can be replicated in other communities. As other local news initiatives have come and gone, the Public Press has distinguished itself as dedicated investigative reporting outlet. Our ad-free newspaper and website highlight our best new in-depth, data-driven investigative, explanatory and solutions reporting. Recent projects examined the lives of housing-insecure people living in vehicles, transportation safety, homeless services, digital privacy regulation, landlords' responsibility for exacerbating the housing affordability crisis, and weaknesses in California's environmental laws. Every election we produce a comprehensive nonpartisan voter guide. In August 2019 we expanded our reach and scope by starting a low-power FM radio station, KSFP on 102.5 FM in San Francisco. With its startup funded by three foundations, the station produces a daily news interview show, "Civic,X and is adding other local programming by nonprofit organizations and independent audio producers to our broadcast lineup. We run the station 12 hours per day, sharing the rest of the hours with San Francisco Community Radio via KXSF, a nonprofit station focused on music and cultural programming. We are heading into our second decade committed to this work of building a sustainable, local nonprofit news organization because we believe that we can have a direct impact on the lives of people we write about, and whose voices we put on the airwaves, especially at a time when the pandemic has radically exacerbated existing inequalities and political divisions. But we also are painfully aware that the business model undergirding local journalism has been dealt a sometimes-fatal blow in communities across the country, with weekly and daily newspapers and broadcasters laying off thousands of people, and some closing entirely, because of the precipitous loss of advertising revenue. In a political climate that condones out-in-the-open public corruption, a loss of accountability journalism is the last thing communities need right now. We are part of a national cohort of several hundred nonprofit mission-driven newsrooms dedicated to providing a check on the powerful and examining broken systems.
