San Francisco: Changes at Sentinel Newspaper

For over two and a half years part of the material published in AIDS Treatment News has also appeared biweekly in the San Francisco Sentinel, a gay newspaper distributed free in San Francisco. Last week a dispute between members of the staff and the newspaper's new owner resulted in the resignation of the entire editorial and production departments, nine persons in all, including the people we had worked with at the paper. This week's Sentinel, in which the survey results published here would ordinarily have appeared, was not published.
The Sentinel situation does not affect AIDS Treatment News, which is independent. We do want to continue to appear in a newspaper in San Francisco. We are exploring all the options.
