Six San Francisco Newsrooms Host Community Listening Sessions During Inaugural SF Good Neighbor Week

This is the first post in a series of reflections on San Francisco’s inaugural SF Good Neighbor Week.

When I was putting together the inaugural SF Good Neighbor Week in 2025, I knew I wanted local newsrooms involved. Though I don’t have a journalism background, I’ve been an advocate for local news in San Francisco, including serving on the board of the San Francisco Press Club, being on the leadership team of the Bay Area Independent Community Media Coalition, and founding Community News Lab to raise the visibility of local news. With SF Good Neighbor Week, I saw an opportunity for my local newsroom buddies to both participate and bring something special to the holiday.
