The San Francisco Examiner
For 35 years starting in 1965, the "San Francisco Chronicle and Examiner" operated under a Joint Operating Agreement whereby the "Chronicle" published a morning paper and the "Examiner" published in the afternoon. The "Examiner" published the Sunday paper's news sections and glossy magazine, and the "Chronicle" contributed the features. Circulation was approximately 100,000 on weekdays and 500,000 on Sundays. By 1995, discussion was already brewing in print media about the possible shuttering of the "Examiner" due to low circulation and an extremely disadvantageous revenue sharing agreement for the "Chronicle".
The Portuguese Tribune
The Portuguese Tribune was the 28th Portuguese newspaper to be founded in California since A Voz Portuguesa (Portuguese Voice) in 1884 in San Francisco. The Portuguese Tribune was the first Portuguese newspaper in California since the Capelinhos Volcano wave of immigration from the Azores Islands. Since then, others were established, but none other than The Portuguese Tribune has survived: Notícia (News) 1985-1986, Portugal-USA 1986-1987, Luso-Americano California 1992-1995, Portuguese-American Chronicle 1997-2006, and Lusitania News 2006. Even the old Jornal Portugues (Portuguese Journal), a merger of three earlier newspapers—O Imparcial (The Impartial) 1903-1932, Jornal de Noticias 1917-1932 (but previously O Arauto since 1896), and Colonia Portugueza (Portuguese Colony) 1924-1932) -- ceased to exist in 1997 after over a century of publication.
