Why SFGATE?

Launched in 1994, SFGATE.com was one of the first large-market media sites in the world and served as the exclusive digital home of the San Francisco Chronicle for 19 years. In 2019, the Chronicle (which can now be found online at the paywalled sfchronicle.com) and SFGATE officially became two separately run entities with their own editorial staffs and independent newsrooms.

Today, SFGATE is a digital-only publication that reaches more than 28 million readers every month and tells the stories of the people, places and ideas that make San Francisco, and the Bay Area at large, the weird and wonderful place that it is. We help readers navigate their day, whether it’s by keeping them updated on big breaking news, guiding them to interesting local experiences or sharing a part of the Bay they haven’t seen before.

The site is home to seven verticals: Culture , offering a unique mix of the entertainment news you actually need, and the underground stories from hidden corners of the Bay Area you want; Local , the premier destination for everything that life in San Francisco encompasses (from wildly expensive real estate to schools to what it’s like to live above a raucous bar); Sports , covering the intersection of sports and culture; Travel , covering everything from flight deals and travel news to hotel hacks and under-the-radar day trips; Politics , where we keep you up to speed on all local, state and national politics that have implications in the Bay Area; Food + Drink , where we tell you the backstory of the people behind the bar and in the kitchen; and News ; plus, SFGATE has satellite editors covering Lake Tahoe , California Parks , the Central Coast , Hawaii and Disneyland .

Requirements:

  • Passion for journalism and the internet, including keeping a pulse on what’s trending
