As well as publishing a host of stories this week on topics as varied as student immunizations and a formally illegal jazz club finding a new home, it was a week of new initiatives at Berkeleyside. After announcing our partnership with KQED earlier this month, this week we launched a collaboration with citizen journalism platform OneNews and “soft-launched’ the Berkeleyside Events Calendar. Submit your events now in readiness for the calendar’s September 1 debut.
It was also, of course, the countdown week for the 40th birthday of a Berkeley institution: Alice Waters’ Chez Panisse restaurant. We wouldn’t be the Berkeley online newspaper of record if we didn’t take time to report on this significant milestone. We looked at the frenzy surrounding the momentous moment, as well as how local businesses are galvanizing around the birthday to raise funds for its central focus: the Edible Schoolyard Project.
We can’t publish these stories and grow Berkeleyside without your support. Please consider subscribing to Berkeleyside, from as little as $5 a month, or making a donation. Find out how here. Thank you.
