Mission Local, one of three hyperlocal sites staffed by J-school students, recently had a story picked up by The Atlantic. The article, written by Octavio Lopez Raygoza (class of 2012) and J-alum Heather Smith, explores the gentrification of the neighborhood in light of recent shootings.
The post also features a map, created by UC Berkeley undergrad Danya Al-Saleh, which overlays bakeries in the Mission district of San Francisco with Norte̱o and Sure̱o gang territory.
Edible Geography blogger Nicola Twilley initially picked up the story, and also wrote a short piece highlighting the story on The Atlantic’s website.
