This month’s MAPP – the Mission Arts and Performance Project –  has 14 locations and dozens of performances.

You can use the map we have created or you can go to MAPP’s website to check the schedule.  If you are there and take some short video, send it to us at missionlocal@gmail.com and we’ll post it.

Regardless, it  is a terrific, very special Mission evening.  We’ve curated some of our favorite MAPP coverage, on the side and also below.  This month’s MAPP is dedicated to Alex Nieto, who was shot and killed by San Francisco police on March 21,  and the third year anniversary of the nuclear disaster in Fukushima Japan.

Founder/Executive Editor. I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019 when I retired. 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 there.

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.

Right now I'm trying to figure out how you make that long-held interest in local news sustainable. The answer continues to elude me.

  1. None of the 14 MAPP venues charges admission, and therefore they are not generating any economic activity.

    This socialistic event is offensive to the new entrepreneurial spirit of San Francisco. How dare these people do something that isn’t about money?
