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".
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".
