About Me

Jonathan is Editor-in-Chief of The Bay Citizen. Before joining as the founding editor of The Bay Citizen, Jonathan served as CEO and editor-in-chief of New West Publishing, the Missoula, Montana-based media company that he founded in 2005. New West’s flagship product is NewWest.Net, an award-winning local and regional online publication about the Rocky Mountain West. Before launching New West Publishing, Jonathan was the co-founder and editor-in-chief of the Industry Standard, the highly-regarded San Francisco-based newsweekly that chronicled the dot-com boom of the late 1990’s. The Industry Standard earned many awards and plaudits for its no-nonsense coverage of the Internet revolution. Prior to the Industry Standard, Weber served eight years as a writer and editor at the Los Angeles Times, including three years as the Silicon Valley correspondent. Weber began his journalism career with Fairchild Publications, and served in that company’s Paris bureau, among other assignments. He was part of the launch team for Geneva-based World Link magazine, a publication of the World Economic Forum. Weber earned a B.A in Philosophy from Wesleyan University. He is excited to be back in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife, Karen, their three children, and their two dogs and two cats.
