Dear Readers,
It's been almost exactly a year since you last heard from us. But now the editors and publishers of the SF Bay Guardian are officially announcing that we are back!
2016 marks our 50th year as the Bay Area's number one alternative, progressive news source -- and we're ready to reboot by:
*** Rescuing and preserving our archives in a public library and protective storage space
*** Digitizing a half-century's worth of newspapers brimming with local politics, culture, and arts history, making them available for all
*** Redesigning our website to bring you new content and allow you to search through five decades of Bay Guardian articles
*** Relaunching key features like Best of the Bay, Clean Slate Endorsement Guide, GOLDIES Arts Awards, Nude Beaches Guide, opinion, editorials, indepth analysis, and more.
We just launched an IndieGogo campaign to raise enough funds to keep this valuable chronicle of local news and culture alive. AND WE'VE SECURED A $40K MATCHING DONATION! Help us reach our goal and put 50 years of the coolest indepth local history online and keep the Bay Guardian's important, independent voice alive for 50 more! Tomorrow, December 1, is "Giving Tuesday," a perfect time to support this worthy local cause.
Thank you for you continued support. Let's join together to keep the spirit of San Francisco alive!
-- Tim Redmond, Marke B, and the Bay Guardian team
