We’re pleased to announce that a story collaboratively produced by SF Public Press and The New York Times appears today in the Times’ Bay Area Report and on the nytimes.com and sfpublicpress.org Web sites.
The story — ‘‘Seeking to Help Budding Researchers With a Click of the Mouse’’ — by Public Press reporter Victoria Schlesinger looks at the efforts of young scientists at Stanford and the University of California-Berkeley to do an end-run around traditional sources of government grants by seeking funds directly from the public to support research with environmental and socially beneficial applications.
The piece was edited by staff in both newsrooms and photographed by New York Times staff. The Times Bay Area Report, which was launched in 2009 is edited by longtime Times business and environment writer Felicity Barringer.
The Public Press is the second local nonprofit to provide articles to Times local editions outside New York, after the Chicago News Cooperative began producing whole pages for a local section there last year. The Times Bay Area Report, which runs as a two-page spread in the Northern California edition of the Times each Friday and Sunday, is slated to be produced by another nonprofit organization, The Bay Citizen, later this year.
