Mobile Sites News & Articles

At the end of September a new non-profit news site emerged. With a US$ 5 million initial grant from investor F. Warren Hellman, the Bay Area News Project is slated to combine the expertise and labor of a 28-person news staff from KQED-FM, and the 120 students of the University of California, Berkeley’s graduate school of journalism.

While the project will begin operations early next year, neither a name for the website nor a chief executive or a top editor has been assigned. The Bay Area News Project is focused on its goals, as vague as they may be. Its mission is to create an “open dialogue about civic and community news in the Bay Area through best-in-class, original journalism”.
