6/ At a time when news media continues to shrink, America’s national parks are seeing record-breaking crowds. These pristine and imperiled places deserve a news organization that can keep up.

We’re here to help. Join us. Apply here: sfgate.com/careers

5/ What was an 21-person outfit in 2019 will have almost tripled in 2025 — this year, we have 60 journalists in 23 different cities and four different states, planting our journalism flag in a massive geographic footprint that, frankly, needs it.

Why SFGATE is expanding way beyond San Francisco We now have journalists in 20 cities covering Calif. top to bottom, coast to Sierra.

4/ We’ve expanded to cover the entire state over the past six years, added a SoCal bureau and hired a host of talented journalists based in Calif. news deserts hurting for more good journalism (plus had ZERO LAYOFFS during that entire span).

More on that: www.sfgate.com/news/article...

3/ That kind of thoughtful expansion is at the core of what we’re trying to do here. Since separating from
the @sfchronicle.com in 2019, SFGATE has become the largest news site on the entire West Coast, passing the LA Times in July 2024 despite having 1/5th the number of journalists on staff.

2/ They'll not only tackle ambitious journalism about the parks, but they'll actually be based in the communities most tied to the ones they cover — we're not going to hire a CA journalist to cover Zion National Park.

We're going to hire someone in Utah.

1/ The new National Parks Contributing Editor covering the Southwest needs to have a deep understanding of the region's most loved parks and the ability to tell stories that matter to both people who live there and people who visit.

SFGATE launched a National Parks bureau. It led to explosive growth. SFGATE was one of America's 10 fastest growing news sites in back-to-back months.

🚨 WE. ARE. HIRING 🚨

In June I told you @sfgate.com's national parks expansion across the American West was SMASHING and now we're looking to add a contributing editor to the team to help us cover the 🌵 Southwest 🌵.

Both?

we’re getting there, there’s a reason we called it a SoCal Bureau!

Oh hey! Need a bit of GOOD news this Friday?

Well, we've got that. @sfgate.com launched a SoCal Bureau last year and hired 5 journalists to cover LA. It's been so successful under the steady hand of @farleyelliott.bsky.social that it now has its own newsletter:
