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
