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 newspaper grew in circulation to become the city's largest, overtaking the rival "San Francisco Examiner". The demise of other San Francisco dailies through the late 1950s and early 1960s left the "Examiner" and the "Chronicle" to battle for circulation and readership superiority.
