Hey, you. Yes, you. Sitting there glazed-over and glassy-eyed from staring at your preferred choice of online viewing. Listen up: did you know that changes are afoot in the world of local print publishing? It's true. And this time the news involves neither embarrassing attempts to regain ad revenue nor pathetic blanket statements about the future of media from brain-dead journalists. It's good news. Shocking, but true. Here we go:

First, 7x7's executive editor Chloé Harris has given the magazine a much-needed makeover. It's smaller, tighter, and even got its spine back. Literally. We're hearing that they're seeking a fresh new load of writers, photographers, illustrators, and more —e.g., Ethan Watters wrote a piece for their April issue. Their most recent issue, the fashion one, is worthy of picking up or stealing from your dentist's office.

As for the city's other glossy mag, Modern Luxury's San Francisco Magazine, they done got themselves a shiny new EIC. Jon Steinberg (the one who's not the president of BuzzFeed) spent the last six years at New York magazine, focusing on the "Strategist" section. He's also won several National Magazine Awards. Fancy. However, we have yet to find his Twitter or Facebook, so we have yet to form a thoughtful opinion of him. Nevertheless, good luck and welcome to Baghdad by the Bay, Jon!

And finally, had you ever checked out Oakland Magazine? We had not. But their latest issue is all about beer, so it can't be half bad.
