SIDEWALKS ENTERTAINMENT

Sidewalks is a celebrity-based interview and music program on the Internet and broadcast television. Launched in 1988, its original concept was to highlight San Francisco-area artists - dancers, fashion designers, cultural performers, independent filmmakers, magicians, and rising musical talents. Sidewalks has introduced a diverse range of over two-hundred acts from the greater Northern California region.

Since 1999, Sidewalks has become a new TV destination for non-gossip celebrity interviews with stars from movies, TV, sports and music. The program now features hundreds of celebrity interviews, making it a unique televised program outside of Hollywood and New York. Building on its success, the Sidewalks staff is transitioning the popular show into a weekly one-hour program for cable and broadcast stations, and expanding to more television markets.

SAN FRANCISCO STATE UNIVERSITY JOURNALISM DEPARTMENT

San Francisco State University's Journalism school ranks 17th among American film schools and 19th among the country's journalism schools. Offering extensive curricula in print, online, and photojournalism, its faculty includes a former managing editor of Rolling Stone; a research fellow at Harvard University's Shorenstein Center on Press, Politics and Public Policy; and an investigative reporter for San Francisco's KRON-TV.

A former student sums up the opportunity at this journalism school on the Amazon "Unspun" website: “Great real-world experience, not overloaded on theory; professors who have actually worked and are still working in the business and will tell you what it's really like.”
