Mission Local
Founded in 2008, Mission Local has been dedicated to covering the vibrant Mission District, sharing stories about everything from local tacos and technology to crime, culture, murals, and MUNI. We aim to capture the essence of this historic and beloved neighborhood as it evolves. Initially launched as a project by UC Berkeley's Journalism School, we became an independent entity in 2014. Our goal is to serve as a beacon of local, self-sustaining, and fiercely independent journalism. We strive to showcase the Mission's rich diversity and its captivating, sometimes conflicting, nature. Our commitment is to continue telling its many stories for many years ahead.
