In San Francisco, newspapers, TV and radio are joining forces to shine an extra bright spotlight on an issue that they can all agree is a critical one: citywide homelessness.

Media organizations in San Francisco, from The Chronicle to Mother Jones to KQED, are planning to flood the city with news on homelessness the week of June 29, the New York Times reports . The goal of the coordinated coverage is to place the problem of homelessness front and center for residents and policymakers, driving politicians to take action.

We are all frustrated, Jon Steinberg, editor in chief of San Francisco magazine, told the news outlet. We are all fed up. We feel there is not enough movement and accountability on the issue. [...] We want the full force of the Fourth Estate to bear down on this problem.
