Chronicle Publishing Company
The Chronicle Publishing Company was a print and broadcast media corporation headquartered in San Francisco, California that was in operation from 1865 until 2000. Owned for the whole of its existence by the de Young family, CPC was most notable for owning the namesake "San Francisco Chronicle" newspaper and KRON-TV, the longtime National Broadcasting Company (NBC) affiliate in the San Francisco Bay Area (San Francisco–Oakland–San Jose) television media market.
Cornell Chronicle
Prior to the founding of the "Chronicle" in 1969, campus news was reported by the "Cornell Era" and then by "The Cornell Daily Sun". During the Willard Straight Hall takeover in April 1969, the campus learned of unfolding events through the student-edited "Sun", the student radio station WVBR, and the independently owned "Cornell Alumni News." However, Cornell's administration, most notably then-Vice President for Public Affairs Steven Muller, was dissatisfied because those media reported events in a manner that was somewhat critical of the administration. Over the summer, plans for the "Chronicle" were put in place and it debuted on September 25, 1969. The "Chronicle"s first office was in the basement of the Edmund Ezra Day Hall administration building, and Kal Lindenburg, a "Sun" alumnus, was hired as its first Managing Editor. It was printed every Wednesday during the school year as a newsprint broadside on the presses of the "Ithaca Journal".
