Editor & Publisher Magazine has published a feature spotlighting "10 That Do It Right." E&P selects a new list every summer from the nation's daily and weekly newspapers. E&P says it's not a "Top 10" list, but rather "a hat tip to a variety of publications which have, through excellence or innovation, shown the way in one area or another, such as news coverage, circulation, design, diversity or online."

We're not just announcing today's live Perplex City event, we're also one of the destinations on the citywide scavenger hunt. Solvers today will find some puzzle that brings them here, and the ultimate answer to that puzzle is given by this clue:

Thanks to the voting efforts of our wonderful readers, SFist's Editors will be going to the San Francisco Bay Guardian Best of the Bay party at Club Six this Wednesday.

Yesterday, the ACLU filed a Freedom of Information Act request on behalf of local students groups at Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz to see just why the Penagon was spying on them. Joining them in the law suit was our very own San Francisco Bay Guardian, going after more dragons to slay besides PG&E and Craig, as well as Quaker organizations. Yeah, Quakers.
