Why We’re Funded by Readers, Not Ads

​

Nob Hill News is funded by readers—not ads. That’s intentional.

 

Advertising revenue no longer supports consistent, high-quality local journalism, especially at the neighborhood level.

 

A paywall allows us to focus on what matters most: reporting on the issues, people and places that shape daily life in our community. It keeps our work independent and accountable to readers—not driven by clicks or outside interests.

 

If we want reliable, hyperlocal coverage here, it has to be built and sustained by neighbors. A subscription isn’t just access—it’s an investment in a stronger, more informed community.
