A note to our readers.

"Sometimes I send these emails, social media posts, and stories online into the ether and think no one saw any of it. But you're often still here and engaged, and I know it's probably cloying and hard to believe, but I just want to say thank you."

"The Bold Italic is now independently owned. By me. I joined in 2023 as its editor in chief and had a good run with its publishers at the time. But I was more than happy to take the reins two years later when they were ready to move on."

"I moved to San Francisco just after TBI's founding in 2009, and I have watched its sunrise and sunset with Gannett and IDEO, and its later iterations with three different owners. It was an edgy online magazine that, to me, spoke to the cynical Millennial blogger in the Bay Area."

The Bold Italic's editor-in-chief and new owner acknowledges reader corrections to published content, including errors about Alta Vista Park, Holy Gelato's closure, and omitted coffee shops. The publication, founded in 2009, has undergone multiple ownership changes and recently transitioned to independent ownership in August. The owner, who joined as editor-in-chief in 2023, is implementing operational changes including migrating off Medium and reorganizing the brand. Despite its small presence, the publication maintains active reader engagement through social media and online platforms. The publication's history includes previous iterations with various publishers and a notable design legacy, while continuing to serve the San Francisco community through curated local content and reader-driven stories.
