Matier, who describes himself as a "Bay Area political insider and journalist," has been featured in The San Francisco Examiner and the San Francisco Chronicle. He has also been a broadcast reporter on KRON-TV and KPIX-5, and currently ABC-7 and KCBS radio.
"The San Francisco Bay Area is a crucible for journalists," said Matier. "The Bay Area was ground zero for counterculture, computers, the Internet and social media. The journalists breaking these stories are better equipped than anyone in the industry to report on where we're heading next as a society. I'm looking forward to honoring my colleagues while predicting what's next for the Bay Area."
"Phil Matier headlining the San Francisco Press Club's Awards Show demonstrates how important this event is to the Bay Area and to journalism at large," said Curtis Sparrer, president of the San Francisco Press Club and principal at Bospar PR. "As an executive producer at KRON-TV, I was often struck by Phil's insights, wit and predictions. Journalists like Phil are protecting our democracy during an era of fake news and disinformation."
