Welcome to The SF Minute. I’m really glad you’re here.

My goal with this project is to bring you the most important news about San Francisco each weekday in a quick and easy-to-read format. I’ll pull stories from our city’s already-established news outlets (like The Chronicle and SF Weekly), but over time, I hope we can do some original reporting ourselves.

Before starting The SF Minute, I was a tech reporter for The Information and Business Insider. And before that, I started as a local journalist in Palo Alto, CA.

For years, I’ve wrestled with the idea of how to make local news more relevant. And with The SF Minute, I hope we can.

Please, if you live in San Francisco and want to keep up with the news around you, subscribe to our Monday-Friday newsletter. It’s free! And it should only take a minute (or so) to read.

Thanks so much, and I hope to hear from you along the way! -Nick Bastone
