In the spirit of community, Footprints offers a very unofficial “round-up” of media resources that serve us Bayview Hunters Point. We apologize in advance for any resource we’ve missed, and invite additions to our list. Please send us your link and media resource description: info@QuesadaGardens.org
Print Resources (also online):
San Francisco Bayview Newspaper – We all stand on
these broad shoulders. A national
and international newspaper, a Black newspaper (one of the top 10), and a
community newspaper all rolled into one, the San Francisco Bay View remains
vibrant with an expanded online presence and one print issue per month (mailed,
not hand delivered). Usually
neglected populations and subjects are kept “on the front page.” In a recent phone interview, Mary
Ratcliff said, “It’s a real lifeline for the prison population.” The online version is packed with news
and views for Bayview Hunters Point and beyond. Subscribe or donate online at www.sfbayview.com.
Footprints News – This communications resource for community
groups, including small and informal groups, emphasizes street-level,
community-defined change led by people with deep roots in the neighborhood. info@QuesadaGardens.org, www.BayviewFootprints.org
or 415.822.0800
HP Journal – This online magazine-style resource with beautiful
cover graphics profiles community leaders, businesses and perspectives. Longtime Bayview resident Kathy Perry,
the writer/editor, has created a publication that feels “personal and real.” The online version is complimented by
HP Journal stories published in the newly restructured Western Edition/HP
Journal, now a joint publication.
Kathy also edits the Western Edition. Contact her at 415.439.8319 or editor@thewesternedition.com
Broadcast:
Life on the Block – Resident James Ross hosts a 22-minute talk show on public access cable channel 29 every other Friday at 6pm. Recent shows have featured Linda Brooks-Burton from the library and Dr. Sharad Jain and Dr. Chitra Chandran from SF General Hospital. James@QuesadaGardens.org and www.accessf.org
