Good afternoon!
The NorCal branch of the Society of Professional Journalists has tapped Mission Local for three awards. Reporter Annika Hom was named the region’s top emerging journalist, and executive editor Lydia Chávez was recognized for her career achievements. Christina A. MacIntosh won top spot for community service journalism for her series about a lethal fire, deteriorating conditions and top-down neglect in a Potrero Hill housing project. Read all about their work here.
Earlier this year, Mission Local’s Yujie Zhou went to the SFO parking lot and uncovered some great stories about immigrant rideshare drivers—their long waits, their long workdays, and the homemade weapons they carry. Recently she’s been looking inside the business and culture of SF’s AI boom, and writes today about the frenetic pace of AI startups.
All our reporters continue to bring you news that is truly local, really true, and always independent. Help keep us thriving and support Mission Local today – for the rest of 2023, your tax-deductible donations up to $1,000 will be matched dollar for dollar.
More soon,
Sara
