San Francisco Chronicle
The San Francisco Chronicle is a newspaper serving primarily the San Francisco Bay Area of the U.S. state of California. It was founded in 1865 as "The Daily Dramatic Chronicle" by teenage brothers Charles de Young and Michael H. de Young. The paper is currently owned by the Hearst Corporation, which bought it from the de Young family in 2000. It is the only major daily paper covering the city and county of San Francisco.

The competition between the "Chronicle" and "Examiner" took a financial toll on both papers until the summer of 1965, when a merger of sorts created a Joint Operating Agreement under which the "Chronicle" became the city's sole morning daily while the "Examiner" changed to afternoon publication (which ultimately led to a declining readership).
