San Francisco Chronicle

The San Francisco Chronicle is a newspaper that mainly caters to the San Francisco Bay Area in California, though it is also available statewide, stretching from Sacramento to the Emerald Triangle and down to Santa Barbara County. It was established in 1865 under the name The Daily Dramatic Chronicle by teenage siblings Charles de Young and Michael H. de Young. Today, the newspaper is owned by the Hearst Corporation, which acquired it from the de Young family in 2000.
