A number of Berkeleysiders sent us information yesterday about the Oscar Grant trial. Unlike most other Bay Area-based news sources, we didn’t write about the trial or its aftermath. Why? We realize we can’t cover everything, but we work hard to focus all of our efforts on Berkeley stories. If it’s in Berkeley and we [...]

What would you ask the mayor of Berkeley?
Next week, Berkeleyside is interviewing Mayor Tom Bates. There is no shortage of hot-button issues in the city — from the development of West Berkeley and the plans for Downtown, to the strains on the city budget, the closure of Willard Pool, and the climate for business in the city. We’re curious what Berkeleyside’s readers [...]
Berkeleyside seeks super smart summer intern
Are you out of school but already missing the buzz of work? (Unlikely, we know.) More realistically, perhaps you are looking for some fun, challenging and hopefully fulfilling work experience over the summer. Berkeleyside is looking to engage one or two interns for the next couple of months. The right person will be passionate about journalism and [...]
Celebrating 1,000 here on Berkeleyside
We don’t spend a lot of time tooting our own horn, but The Berkeley Wire today was the 1,000th post on Berkeleyside since we launched last October. In that time as well, we’ve published 2,902 of your comments. One of the real strengths of Berkeleyside is your involvement as readers. Thanks for your support.

Berkeleyside on the hunt for designer
We’re fond of the way Berkeleyside looks, but as the site has grown — and our ambitions for it — we’re bumping into occasional constraints with our existing design. We’ve decided it’s high time we gave Berkeleyside a makeover. Don’t worry: we’re not interested in glitz or flash (or Flash). We want to remain accessible [...]

Your mom is so Berkeley: A picnic in the park
“Your Mom is So Berkeley”, the more than entertaining Facebook group which has blossomed since we first wrote about it in December 2009, is throwing its first big event this weekend — a picnic to which all of those who have memories, fond or otherwise, of their Berkeley moms are invited. After discovering YMISB, we checked back [...]
“Parenthood”: Might Berkeleyside get a look-in?
I realize Parenthood has largely abandoned any attempts at credibility where its supposed Berkeley location is concerned. But how hard can it be for a production crew to get a copy of a real Bay Area newspaper on the set? On this week’s episode, character Adam is seen — very briefly — scanning the front [...]
