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.
San Francisco Oracle
A monthly psychedelic Los Angeles paper with neopagan overtones, called "The Oracle of Southern California", existed for about a year; the first issue was published as "The City of Los Angeles Oracle" in March 1967. Some members of the SF Oracle collective were involved in starting another paper, "San Francisco Express Times," which published from January 24, 1968 to March 25, 1969, at which time the paper's name was changed to "San Francisco Good Times," appearing under that title from April 1969 to August 1972. In 1967 students at San Francisco State College distributed a one-off eight-page tabloid parody of the "Oracle" called the "Orifice," edited by Ben Fong-Torres.
