Chronicle Publishing Company
The Chronicle Publishing Company was a print and broadcast media corporation headquartered in San Francisco, California that was in operation from 1865 until 2000. Owned for the whole of its existence by the de Young family, CPC was most notable for owning the namesake "San Francisco Chronicle" newspaper and KRON-TV, the longtime National Broadcasting Company (NBC) affiliate in the San Francisco Bay Area (San Francisco–Oakland–San Jose) television media market.
Larchmont Chronicle
In 1963, two young women canvassed the Larchmont area in Los Angeles to start a community newspaper. The first issue of the Larchmont Chronicle was mailed to 10,000 families in the upper income areas of Hancock Park and Windsor Square. The women, Dawne Goodwin and Jane Gilman, secured 28 advertisers for the first 12-page issue. They each earned $250 on the first issue, and the paper has been in the black ever since. Dawne Goodwin retired in 1997, moved to Fallbrook, California, and died on October 14, 2012. The Chronicle later expanded its coverage and is now hand-delivered in a plastic bag to 21,000 households. On May 1, 2015, Gilman sold the paper to attorney and neighborhood resident John Welborne; Gilman remains a contributing editor.
