Nob Hill Gazette  The Nob Hill Gazette is a regional monthly magazine founded in 1978 by San Francisco businessman and socialite Gardner Mein, who operated the title until 1986. The magazine, which provides a people-focused account of San Francisco culture, philanthropy and accomplishment, is home-delivered to San Francisco's most exclusive neighborhoods, including Pacific Heights, Nob Hill, Seacliff, Russian Hill, the Marina and others. From 1986 until 2016, the magazine was owned and published by Lois Lehrman, the magazine's former advertising director and longtime fixture on the San Francisco social scene. The magazine flourished under Lehrman's ownership, becoming the publication-of-record for high-society gatherings and marquee charitable events in San Francisco with editor Merla Zellerbach at the helm for more than a decade. After 30 years at the helm, Lehrman sold the title to San Francisco businessman Clint Reilly in 2016. Today, the magazine is edited by Hollywood Reporter and AP alum Erin Carlson and former Financial Times and SF Business Times reporter/editor Riley McDermid. The magazine's art director is Matt Petty, who came to the magazine in 2016 after long tenures with both the San Francisco Business Times and the San Francisco Chronicle. Along with timely coverage of high-profile charitable and social events, the magazine features long-form interviews, profiles of local luminaries, stories on fashion, health, beauty, money, real estate, travel, food and wine.
