In 2019, the Chronicle (which can now be found online at the paywalled sfchronicle.com) and SFGATE officially became two separately run entities with their own editorial staffs and independent newsrooms. Today, SFGATE is a digital-only publication that reaches more than 28 million readers every month and 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 Area they haven’t seen before.

Plus, the site has full-time local editors covering both **Lake Tahoe** and the **Central Coast**, a **SoCal bureau** that focuses on Los Angeles food, culture and the outdoors, as well as **Disneyland**, a **National Parks** bureau with editors across the West Coast covering national parks in California, the Southwest, Big Sky Country and the Pacific Northwest, as well as a satellite editor covering **Hawaii** and **California’s North Coast**. **What you’ll do:** - Understand social media trends and the news cycle, and be able to share our stories in a way that helps audiences be included in trending news moments - Produce and star in franchiseable news videos for SFGATE’s social video platforms (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube) - Acquire and package User Generated Content for use on SFGATE’s social media channels - Edit video content promptly using Adobe Premiere and/or Adobe After Effects and be comfortable editing both short and long form video - Be excepti…
