It’s not like San Francisco ever challenged New York as a periodical publishing hub. But there used to be a lot of magazines headquartered here.
There was a time when San Francisco was a magazine town. The place was lousy with them. I came to town to work at one in the ’90s, and when I got the internship, I was so excited I found a payphone and called my mom, right there on Market Street.
Then there was the wave of computer and tech magazines that sprang up in the 1980s and 1990s: Macworld, MacWeek, PC World, Upside, Red Herring, eCompany Now, the Industry Standard, and Wired. Now, there aren’t just any computer magazines left in San Francisco; there aren’t any in America, my friend Harry McCracken recently observed. If you want to learn about computers, you’ll use a computer, which makes sense.
With a shrinking supply and demand, it’s no wonder magazines are hard to find in San Francisco. Owner Adam Smith closed Fog City News in 2021. Juicy News, where Smith worked before striking out on his own, has closed, too; the former proprietor, Mo Salimi, now works in real estate. But there are a handful of newsstands left devoted to print.
Threat prompts morning lockdown at Palo Alto high school Police officers were set to remain on or near the campus for the remainder of the school day as a security measure “The community depends on me,” Berbery told me. Where else would they go “if there’s an article they want to read?” “Before the pandemic, we decided to part ways with the more prominent distributors,” Iwata told me. Instead, she works with Small Changes, a Seattle distribution company, and other local firms. The Kinokuniya Bookstore in Japantown helps with publications from Asia.
