Extra! Extra! We’re giving away hats

Now you can keep cool and show the world that you support independent news

Since our launch in 2024, Gazetteer SF has been delivering the best independent news and cultural coverage straight into your head five days a week. Now we want to put something onto it: Our new hat.

Think about how smart you’ll look walking down the street in a hat that announces you get your news from humans writing for humans. 

Our sturdy, beautiful black hats feature light pink embroidery produced by the Mission’s own Camputee Press.

As San Francisco’s official summer begins (that would be fall), this limited edition hat is guaranteed to keep you cooler than any other publication’s hat. (Legal notice: all hats keep you cool, but not all make you look cool.)  

Best of all: We’re giving them away.
