San Francisco Chronicle hires Angst as reporter

Maggie Angst

Maggie Angst has joined the San Francisco Chronicle’s City Hall team as a reporter to cover homelessness, addiction and mental illness. She will report to deputy Metro editor Emily Fancher.

Angst commented:

“I’m thrilled to join the San Francisco Chronicle and carry on the newsroom’s tradition of providing readers with thought-provoking stories about some of the biggest challenges facing the city.

“As a reporter, I’m committed to earning the trust of San Franciscans, shedding light on lived experiences, holding local leaders accountable and ideally, inspiring positive change.”

Recently, she was a California political reporter at The Sacramento Bee and an accountability reporter at The Mercury News, where she reported on the Silicon Valley local government, San Jose City Hall, wildfires and the pandemic.

She also worked as an education reporter at The Island Packet in South Carolina and a breaking news reporter/digital producer at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

She also interned at the Chicago Tribune Media Group, and was awarded first place in local government reporting from the California News Publishers Association in 2021.

Angst has a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Missouri-Columbia.
