Welcome to The Bay Citizen
We’ll let our website and our stories do most of the talking today, but we wanted to welcome you formally to The Bay Citizen. We hope you’ll find it interesting, educational, entertaining, engaging and ultimately indispensable. We invite you to register, comment, ask questions, share tips and suggest what you think we should cover. If you’re interested in having your own blog on the site, drop us a line at info@baycitizen.org. We'd love to hear your initial feedback in the comments below.
The Bay Citizen is the work not only of our dedicated staff (some of whom have barely warmed their chairs), but also of a broad group of donors, founding members, partners and others in the community. We aim to bring you a great news report every day, in part by building an open and collaborative approach to the process. Join us today, and for many years to come, at BayCitizen.org.

Congratulations Jonathan! I'm sure that the BayCitizen will become a must read for those in the Bay Area. Good luck in your new adventure!

Mazal tov and hatzlacha (Success!). Jonathan, I am thrilled to see you expanding and developing community-based media. I am a believer in this model, and had hoped to do something like it myself with ethnic sub-communities (still do-able, I think), but I am glad to see it getting going in the Bay Area. It is a question, of course, whether the business model of NFP + Foundation + ad revenues (?) can = good, independent journalism.
It begs the question, of course, of whether car dealer ads + supermarket ads can fund good journalism, too. Remember "PM"? in the 1940s? They didn't take ads, so they ended up writing "stories" about supermarket prices.
Anyway, good luck.

We're all with you, Jonathan.
This country has been so badly weakened by not having a strong Fourth Estate watching over the politicians and corporations in recent years. It's scary!
A cadre of professional investigative journalists, supported by a phalanx of concerned citizens, may be the model that gets us out of this mess. I certainly hope so.
