Talk:San Francisco Chronicle

Source đź“ť

763:, but I haven't had time to do additional research, and I don't live in S.F., so what follows are honest questions from ignorance. What I got from these sources was that (a) during a strike in the 90s, Chronicle journalists started up their own independent website -- interesting background but not directly related to the question of whether SFgate is part of the Chronicle; (b) SFgate was originally the "official web edition" of the Chronicle (and also the Examiner?); (c) at some point, the Chronicle set up a separate paywalled news site, while SFgate continued to show stories, including some Chronicle stories, for free; (d) SFgate considers itself a "separately run entity" now, and has a newsroom leader with the title "editor in chief". I don't see any source here that directly addresses several aspects (see below) of the ongoing relationship, or lack thereof, between SFgate and the Chronicle. Maybe someone with more firsthand knowledge of this topic can help. As someone with no COI but with some interest in newspapers and their history, I'm willing to help with building an article -- if a separate article, rather than an expansion of this article, is truly warranted. What I'd look for is a better understanding of the precise nature of the relationship between SFgate.com and SFchronicle.com. Even with separate newsgathering teams, it might make sense to continue to include SFgate in the Chronicle article, with the addition of prose explaining the two-site online presence. 31: 252: 185: 91: 64: 101: 347: 242: 326: 221: 22: 862:- Despite having separate newsgathering staffs, is there still any sharing of content between them? That is, might a story written by an SFgate reporter end up published on the Chronicle website or print edition? Might a photograph taken by a Chronicle photog end up on SFgate, in addition to being on the Chronicle-named properties? Does this sharing always happen, or frequently, or rarely? 659: 173: 871:
We share Hearst resources: for instance we use the same accounts payable team as the San Antonio News-Express, SeattlePI.com and the Chronicle. Our ad sales team includes a local ad sales group in SF that sells for both the Chronicle and SFGATE, as well as national programmatic ad sales that are used
920:
Also one other point of differentiation from the Chronicle: The SFGATE Sports department strives to not be beholden to access — with rare exceptions, staffers don’t attend team media availabilities, practices, or games. Anything that teams control, we’ve opted out of in order to maintain a balanced,

A fairly large paragraph has been recently written because the Chron is changing out it's weekly TV section. In my opinion this change in their TV guide is has no merit whatsoever for inclusion in this article, and if we need it the info could be done in a sentence. But considering the long storied

I am dissatisfied with how "Fizbin" has handled the "TV Guide" matter. The switch of the TV Guide from a free supplement to a paid one is a significant change. I see your point about it being too long in comparison with the rest of the article, but the complete deletion is unacceptable. I suggest

I have to say that the section doesn't improve the article. For example, no clear evidence is given for the Communist Party assertion, and it's a convoluted argument anyway. I think we should cut both the leftist and rightist criticism down to the basics of their beliefs, since I doubt either of

was "Judge being gay a nonissue during Prop. 8 trial". Of course if the San Francisco Chronicle staff really thought it was a 'nonissue', it wouldn't have been thusly titled, and wouldn't have been published. This was the height of disingenuity by the Chron itself, which decided to run it after
550:
The main article says: "today only the Los Angeles Times exceeds the Chronicle's circulation on the West Coast, while the paper is ranked 12th by circulation nationally." But a quick look at "The Oregonian" newspaper in Portland (on Knowledge (XXG)) shows a circulation that is greater than the

We cover the San Francisco Bay Area, just as the Chronicle does, but we’ve also expanded in various parts of California (and beyond) where the Chronicle has not: in September of 2020 SFGATE hired a contributing editor (who lives in the Reno-Tahoe area) who exclusively covers Lake Tahoe
438:
NPOV means we include any published criticism, much like we have for other media outlets. We just don't judge whether the criticism is accurate or not. The Bay Guardian criticism is in a legitimate, published, verifiable source, and as such is readded.
526:
While I don't know if the term "famous author" would cut it with Wiki, nevertheless, if Paul Avery and Charles McCabe get separate articles, I guess Ryan should too. One of us should get to work on it--while the Chron still exists :(
1015: 917:). It’s part of a broader affinity expansion to cover things we know our readers care about in California and just beyond, plus in most cases we’re providing in-depth journalism in areas that have become relative media deserts. 35: 198: 74: 894:). They only write for SFGATE, not the Chronicle because, again, our editorial departments operate in silos. Unlike the Chronicle, SFGATE doesn’t have an editorial board that makes election recommendations, etc. 1005: 1020: 448:
Including pride of place for one AND ONLY ONE piece of criticism/viewpoint and pretending you're following NPOV isn't the least bit intellectually honest. Try again, and at least PRETEND you understand NPOV.
865:
No, there’s no longer any sharing of content between SFGATE or the Chronicle. The two operations now operate in silos, without any sharing of photos or content published since the middle of 2019.
