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.
Houston Chronicle
The "Houston Chronicle" was founded in 1901 by a former reporter for the now-defunct "Houston Post", Marcellus E. Foster. Foster, who had been covering the Spindletop oil boom for the "Post", invested in Spindletop and took $30 of the return on that investment — at the time equivalent to a week's wages — and used it to fund the "Chronicle".
