In December 2014, I was hired to be managing editor of The Bold Italic, a digital magazine featuring stories from and about San Francisco. In April 2015, TBI's parent company, Gannett, decided to cease operating the website (the news articles below say more about that). Here is a partial archive of stories I wrote during my time there.
Here are some news articles about The Bold Italic's closure, many of which quote my tweets from the morning of the announcement:
- The New Yorker, "Survival Strategies for Local Journalism"
- Nieman Lab, "The Bold Italic, Gannett's San Francisco Attempt to Find a New Way to do Local, is Shutting Down"
- Fast Company, "The Bold Italic, IDEO-Designed Online Magazine, Shuts Down"
- San Francisco Eater, "The Bold Italic Shut Down This Morning"
- San Francisco Magazine, "The Bold Italic to Shutter Immediately"
- San Francisco Magazine, "I Just Published My First—and Last—Article in The Bold Italic"
- San Francisco Examiner, "SF Lost Part of its Heart with Bold Italic Closure"
- SFist, "The Bold Italic Ceases Operations"
- East Bay Express, "The Bold Italic Quietly Goes Out of Business"
- SF Weekly, "RIP, The Bold Italic"
