This week the San Francisco Bay Guardian celebrates 40 years of living up to its name and its motto: "IT IS A NEWSPAPER'S DUTY TO PRINT THE NEWS AND RAISE HELL." Founding Editor and Publisher Bruce B. Brugmann recounts four decades of duking it out with JOA-armed "SuperChron" and other competitors in "the Bermuda Triangle of publishing." Executive Editor Tim Redmond looks back at the quarter-century since the day a roommate showed him a Guardian ad seeking freelancers with "story ideas." Redmond recalls: "I sat down in the crummy flat we shared on Hayes Street and cranked out a list of outrages."
This week's BusinessWeek article on Kevin Rose claims that his company, Digg.com, is headquartered "above the grungy offices of the SF Weekly." However, San Francisco Bay Guardian Editor and Publisher Bruce Brugmann notes in a blog post that Digg is actually "a good tenant on the third floor of the Guardian building." Although Brugmann takes offense that his paper was mistaken for SF Weekly, he devotes more words to the building being called "grungy." Brugmann has written BusinessWeek asking for a correction, and will provide updates on his "Bruce Blog."
"Kevin Keane tore me a new asshole a couple weeks ago," begins the June 14 editor's note from Stephen Buel (here, second item). Keane, executive editor of ANG newspapers, was upset by East Bay Express' unfavorable coverage of his company's prospective purchase of Bay Area dailies. Buel says he stands by the Express' "overall conclusion," but he regrets "a few elements": not asking ANG for comment, using a fake byline on an article that rated reporters and not calling "attention to some of the good work done by reporters at ANG." As part of Buel's amends, this week's issue of the Express contains an interview with Keane.
