| IRS990EZ/ProgramServiceAccomplishment/DescriptionProgramServiceAccom | 0 | The San Francisco Public Press is a nonprofit, noncommercial news organization that reports local public-interest news, doing for print and Web journalism what public broadcasting does for radio and television. We provide the kind of context-rich reporting that has all but disappeared from the Bay Area in the last decade. In addition to original explanatory and investigative reporting focusing on populations overlooked by the commercial press, we collaborate with about 30 public media and public-affairs organizations, coordinating coverage and sharing content. Online since 2009, we launched a quarterly print edition in 2010. Each issue includes an in-depth special project, which is also featured online at sfpublicpress.org. We published in-depth cover stories on these topics in 2012: * Local efforts to combat human trafficking in the San Francisco Bay Area * Plans to use "smart growth" to tackle sprawl in the San Francisco Bay Area * Inconsistent investigations of domestic violence in San Francisco * Delays in laws to protect renters from earthquake hazards in San Francisco. The Public Press aims to change the nature of the conversation about local accountability journalism in Northern California by producing more data-driven, analytical, systems-based and collaborative projects. Our in-depth reporting focuses on the lives of under-served members of the community, including immigrants, low-income workers and minorities. We write about the concerns of non-elites, who are often neglected in the advertising-supported mainstream press. With funding primarily from grants, individual members and newspaper sales, we are building a nonprofit news model supported primarily by the community. Our news stories are available free online at sfpublicpress.org. We sell the San Francisco Public Press quarterly print edition for $1 per copy through about 45 retail locations around the Bay Area. It is also available for mail order through the website. We distribute free copies of the newspaper to nearly 50 other locations serving low-income populations throughout San Francisco. In 2012, we published 5,000 copies of one edition of the newspaper, and 8,000 copies each of three other editions. Of 29,000 newspapers printed, about 12,000 were distributed to health clinics and community and senior centers through our free distribution program. |
