We are saddened to learn of the death of The Examiner’s columnist and editor Al Saracevic. We offer our condolences to Al’s family and friends.
Al Saracevic, a columnist and editor at The Examiner and Chronicle who covered San Francisco from the dot-com bust of the 1990s to the Covid-19 pandemic, capturing The City's biggest sports, politics and business personalities along the way, died Saturday at 52.
For the past year, Saracevic helped to revitalize The Examiner — where he began his career — as director of news and sports and as a columnist who could raise a round of applause or a howl of protest with his outspoken take on The City's most pressing issues. Saracevic was a driving force in The Examiner's rebirth, taking great pride in the relaunch of both its print and digital editions.
"When we drove cross country to move here, he pulled up to a newspaper box, and surprised me with his first story," she said."He pulled it out of the box, so proud." Tamara Straus, The Examiner's co-managing editor who worked with Saracevic at The Chronicle as well, noted the large hole he will leave in San Francisco journalism.
