The San Francisco Bay Guardian was founded in 1966 as the first newsweekly specifically designed to be alternative to and competitive with the local daily newspaper monopoly. It has become one of the best-known and most respected editorial and advertising vehicles in the country. It’s the number-one source for cultural, political, arts and entertainment coverage in one of the world’s great cities.

The Guardian offers news, insight, and analysis that can’t be found anywhere else to legions of loyal, intelligent, discerning, and sophisticated readers who return to the Guardian week after week to find out what to do, where to go, and how to understand the issues and trends in an ever-changing city.
