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".
Oakland Tribune
The newspapers of San Francisco were destroyed in the earthquake and fire of April 18, 1906. The "Tribune" printed many "extras." Dargie lent the "Tribune"s presses for a joint edition of the "San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle-Call." In the aftermath of the conflagration, San Francisco Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz, declared the "Oakland Tribune" the official San Francisco newspaper.
