Long ago, George Lipp began cataloging Mission Murals and Jamie Goldberg put them up into a slide show.

We’ve decided that it would also be interesting to run a summer series on murals from elsewhere.

If you have some that you would like to post, please send them to missionlocal@gmail.com or put them in a public drop box where we can access them and we will create a slideshow of them.

If you’re a gazillionaire, maybe you’d like to sponsor trips for Mission artists to experience Valparaiso and other cities that promote murals.

Founder/Executive Editor. I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019. I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised. Like many local news outlets, The Tribune no longer exists. I left daily newspapers after working at The New York Times for the business, foreign and city desks. Lucky for all of us, it is still here.

As an old friend once pointed out, local has long been in my bones. My Master’s Project at Columbia, later published in New York Magazine, was on New York City’s experiment in community boards.

At ML, I've been trying to figure out how to make my interest in local news sustainable. If Mission Local is a model, the answer might be that you - the readers - reward steady and smart content. As a thank you for that support we work every day to make our content even better.
