I’d like to see more coverage of San Jose State football. You cover this controversy about the SJSU volleyball team every week, but nothing about the season that the SJSU football team is having. They hosted the #12 team in the nation last week with two of the most exciting players in college football, and nothing in the Chronicle. Spartan receive Nick Nash is the top receiver in college football. San Jose State sports I’d like to see more coverage of San Jose State football.

I subscribe to the chronicle due to its occasional in depth features about local San Francisco issues. Recent series about homelessness and drug dealing stand out. The app works well. Wish there were a way to save articles and also wish they had a certain number of articles to gift each month.

I have loved the Chron for over 50 years. Keep up the good work. Please have more diversity in the Sunday Datebook. It shouldn’t just be about white people. I have suggested to the editor to have a Sunday Datebook with no white people and let’s see what the response will be. Love the Chron I have loved the Chron for over 50 years. Keep up the good work.

I have been a subscriber for decades. The paper keeps me updated without sensationalism about SF, the Bay Area as well as national and international news like no other source. And I absolutely love the comics, Dear Abby and Miss Manners. I love the Chronicle and we are fortunate to have such a great newspaper in today‘s times. Please keep going, Chronicle. You are a highlight. I appreciate the Chronicle I have been a subscriber for decades.
