The San Francisco Chronicle is the largest newspaper in Northern California and the second largest on the West Coast. Acquired by Hearst in 2000, the San Francisco Chronicle was founded in 1865 by Charles and Michael de Young and has been awarded six Pulitzer Prizes for journalistic excellence.

The Chronicle, available in print, online, e-edition, mobile app, and iPad, is committed to coverage of subjects that are uniquely important to our readers: local issues and those topics with national impact such as economy, politics, technology, ecology, as well as breaking news, crime, education, national and foreign news. Readers throughout the Bay Area understand that for coverage of the topics that matter most in their lives, the place to turn is the Chronicle and its sister site, SFGATE.

Launched in 1993, SFGATE provides a 360° view of San Francisco, wildly reflective of right now. Provocative, energetic, unapologetic, the GATE is in constant conversation with the world’s most eclectic city. SFGATE features breaking news updated throughout the day; staff blogs; reader forums; photo galleries; video; up-to-the-minute sports scoreboards; as well as real estate, classified, jobs and recruitment, and auto databases. Combined, the San Francisco Chronicle and SFGATE reach over 30 million users each month.
