San Francisco Examiner Information

The San Francisco Examiner, founded in 1865, is a local news website and publication of state and national consequence. We believe that San Francisco and the broader Bay Area are an intellectual capital and a leading region for innovation, technology, culture, social change and politics. What happens here matters to the rest of California, to the United States and even to the world. The Examiner explores San Francisco’s role as a city where the future often happens first. We shine a light on issues, excavate the problems, lay out solutions and demand action from both our elected officials and the private sector.
