The Pacific Sun is the longest running weekly newspaper in California, and the second longest running in the nation, behind only The Village Voice. With a circulation of around 80,000, the paper is distributed throughout Marin County, a region just north of San Francisco in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The paper is owned by Embarcadero Publishing. Sam Chapman, former Chief of Staff for Senator Barbara Boxer (who coincidentally began her career as a reporter for the Pacific Sun), is the paper's publisher. Jason Walsh serves as the editor-in-chief, while Jacob Shafer serves as staff reporter and entertainment editor.
The paper is published every Friday.
