Media in the San Francisco Bay Area
James King of William began publishing the "Daily Evening Bulletin" in San Francisco in October, 1855 and built it into the highest circulation paper in the city. He criticized a city supervisor named James P. Casey, who, on the afternoon of the story about him, ran in the paper, shot and mortally wounded King. Casey was lynched by the early vigilante committee. The "Morning Call" was established and began publishing in December 1856, and later merged with the "Bulletin" to become the long-running "Call-Bulletin". The "San Francisco Chronicle" debuted in June, 1865 as the "Dramatic Chronicle", founded by Charles and M.H. de Young aged 19 and 17.
The Portuguese Tribune
The Portuguese Tribune was the 28th Portuguese newspaper to be founded in California since A Voz Portuguesa (Portuguese Voice) in 1884 in San Francisco. The Portuguese Tribune was the first Portuguese newspaper in California since the Capelinhos Volcano wave of immigration from the Azores Islands. Since then, others were established, but none other than The Portuguese Tribune has survived: Notícia (News) 1985-1986, Portugal-USA 1986-1987, Luso-Americano California 1992-1995, Portuguese-American Chronicle 1997-2006, and Lusitania News 2006. Even the old Jornal Portugues (Portuguese Journal), a merger of three earlier newspapers—O Imparcial (The Impartial) 1903-1932, Jornal de Noticias 1917-1932 (but previously O Arauto since 1896), and Colonia Portugueza (Portuguese Colony) 1924-1932) -- ceased to exist in 1997 after over a century of publication.
