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".
Francisco Mora y Borrell
After the death of Amat on 12 May 1878, Mora took over the diocese. He served it for the next 18 years, during which time he worked to put the Catholic Church on a firm footing in the State of California. In 1895 he established "The Catholic Tidings", the first Catholic newspaper for Los Angeles.
