San Francisco Examiner is a newspaper distributed in and around San
Francisco, California, and published since 1863.The longtime "Monarch
of the Dailies" and flagship of the Hearst Corporation chain, the
Examiner converted to free distribution early in the 21st century and
is owned by San Francisco Media Company LLC. The San Francisco
Examiner was sold to Black Press Group, a Canadian media publisher, in
2011. As of 2014, San Francisco Media Company LLC is held by Oahu
Publications Inc., a subsidiary of Black Press Group Ltd. The Examiner
claims to be the highest circulation newspaper in the San Francisco
and Peninsula area.The Examiner was founded in 1863 as the Democratic
Press, a pro-Confederacy, pro-slavery, pro-Democratic Party paper
opposed to Abraham Lincoln, but after his assassination in 1865, the
paper's offices were destroyed by a mob, and starting on June 12,
1865, it was called the Daily Examiner.In 1880, mining engineer,
entrepreneur and US Senator George Hearst bought the Examiner. Seven
years later, after being elected to the U.S. Senate, he gave it to his
son, William Randolph Hearst, who was then 23 years old. The elder
Hearst "was said to have received the failing paper as partial payment
of a poker debt." San Francisco Examiner Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
