It’s 7 a.m., 62° and headed to 82°. Here’s how it’s looking for the next 10 days. Yeah, it cools down a bit, but we’re basically good through the weekend.

SFist wonders if San Francisco’s mayoral candidates simply aren’t interested in urban agricultural. Sure looks like it if you see who is missing from the debate on the topic.

And SF Appeal reports on staff cuts at the SF Weekly. A total drag — the Weekly has always been one of my favorite places to link to. Argh.

See for yourself, here’s another good post on the Prelinger Archive, by Matt Smith, one of those reporters who won’t be at the Weekly anymore.

The day’s not starting out well — maybe a hangover from yesterday’s Google crash.

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.

As founder and an editor 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.
