The Golden Gate Xpress has been SF State’s student-run newspaper since 1927. Xpress staff members are dedicated to providing an independent and accurate information source for the San Francisco State University campus and the greater Bay Area community.

The Department of Journalism hosts two student-run and managed publications: Xpress Newspaper, which is the daily online news site updated throughout the academic school year; Xpress Magazine, which posts online throughout the regular school year and publishes a glossy print magazine twice a semester. These publications are designed to be lab courses where students can experiment with the latest trends in the field. Faculty advisers are constantly encouraging students to push the envelope, but decisions always rest with the students.

To serve on the publication, students must complete JOUR 300, Reporting, with at least a C.
