Studying #coyotes can help us coexist. Tali’s @talicaspi.bsky.social’s latest research shows individual variation in urban coyote diet (mostly human trash), unlike their rural cohorts where I live, north of the city. It’s a reminder each coyote is an individual. www.sfgate.com/local/articl...

6/ At a time when news media continues to shrink, America’s national parks are seeing record-breaking crowds. These pristine and imperiled places deserve a news organization that can keep up. We’re here to help. Join us. Apply here: sfgate.com/careers

4/ We’ve expanded to cover the entire state over the past six years, added a SoCal bureau and hired a host of talented journalists based in Calif. news deserts hurting for more good journalism (plus had ZERO LAYOFFS during that entire span). More on that: www.sfgate.com/news/article...

3/ That kind of thoughtful expansion is at the core of what we’re trying to do here. Since separating from the @sfchronicle.com in 2019, SFGATE has become the largest news site on the entire West Coast, passing the LA Times in July 2024 despite having 1/5th the number of journalists on staff.

2/ They'll not only tackle ambitious journalism about the parks, but they'll actually be based in the communities most tied to the ones they cover — we're not going to hire a CA journalist to cover Zion National Park. We're going to hire someone in Utah.

1/ The new National Parks Contributing Editor covering the Southwest needs to have a deep understanding of the region's most loved parks and the ability to tell stories that matter to both people who live there and people who visit.

🚨 WE. ARE. HIRING 🚨 In June I told you @sfgate.com's national parks expansion across the American West was SMASHING and now we're looking to add a contributing editor to the team to help us cover the 🌵 Southwest 🌵. Story on how well it's going + Quick 🧵 on the job👇 www.sfgate.com/national-par...

Oh hey! Need a bit of GOOD news this Friday? Well, we've got that. @sfgate.com launched a SoCal Bureau last year and hired 5 journalists to cover LA. It's been so successful under the steady hand of @farleyelliott.bsky.social that it now has its own newsletter: www.sfgate.com/la/article/s...
