The Public Press started as a local online publication that started publishing print newspaper editions in 2010. Tom Goldstein, a professor at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism told the San Francisco Chronicle that the move, "strikes me as audacious," adding that the move set the Press "apart, and there may be great benefit in being set apart."[2]

In 2019, the Public Press launched KSFP-LP, a low-power FM station at 102.5 FM.[3]

Awards

In 2021, the Public Press received four 1st place awards from The San Francisco Press Club.[4][5] In 2022, three Public Press reporters won Society for Professional Journalists Northern California awards in "Health Reporting" and "Community Journalism" categories.[6][7]
