SFGATE is your portal to the Bay Area and California's most important news and fascinating features.
Douglas Zimmerman/SFGateSFGATE began in 1994 as one of the first major news websites in history, ushering in a new era in information and interaction with digital news, and even winning a Pulitzer Prize. SFGATE reaches 30 million unique readers each month, ranking it among the top local news websites nationally.
SFGATE tells the stories of the people, places and ideas that make San Francisco, and the Bay Area at large, the weird and wonderful place that it is. We help readers navigate their day, whether it's by keeping them updated on big breaking news, guiding them to interesting local experiences or sharing a part of the bay they haven't seen before.
The site is home to: Culture, offering a unique mix of the entertainment news you actually need, and the underground stories from hidden corners of the Bay Area you want; Local, the premier destination for everything that life in San Francisco encompasses (from wildly expensive real estate to schools to what it's like to live above a raucous bar); Sports, covering the intersection of sports and pop culture; Travel, covering everything from flight deals and travel news, to hotel hacks and under-the-radar day trips; Food + Drink, where we tell you the backstory of the people behind the bar and in the kitchen; and News.
SFGATE is the Hearst-owned site and a sister-site of the San Francisco Chronicle, which offers readers a subscription website.
