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.
Sunday magazine
In 1869, the "San Francisco Chronicle" published what is regarded as the first Sunday magazine, and the "Chicago Inter Ocean" added color to its supplement. "The New York Times Magazine" was published on September 6, 1896, and it contained the first photographs ever printed in that newspaper. During the 1890s, publications were inserted into Joseph Pulitzer's "New York World" and William Randolph Hearst's "New York Journal". Hearst had the eight-page "Women's Home Journal" and the 16-page "Sunday American Magazine", which later became "The American Weekly". In November 1896, Morrill Goddard, editor of the "New York Journal" from 1896 to 1937, launched Hearst's Sunday magazine, later commenting, "Nothing is so stale as yesterday's newspaper, but "The American Weekly" may be around the house for days or weeks and lose none of its interest."
