Join The Dissent
We're building San Francisco's sharpest independent newsroom. We want people who care about this city, write with conviction, and don't need permission to have an opinion.

Cover SF city hall, the Board of Supervisors, and local policy with sharp, original reporting. You know the difference between a press release and a story.

Write about the restaurants, bars, art, music, and neighborhoods that make SF worth living in. We need someone who eats out too much and has opinions about it.
