Clint Reilly buys S.F. Examiner [San Francisco Chronicle]
Dec. 18 The San Francisco Examiner is being sold to Clint Reilly Communications, publisher of the Nob Hill Gazette and Gentry magazine, for an undisclosed sum in a deal that also includes the SF Weekly.
“I feel newspapers are incredibly important to the life and well-being of a community,” said Clint Reilly, chairman and president of the eponymous company. “If we can help the Examiner have a greater impact, we will be helping the city, the Peninsula and the Bay Area come back from the deleterious impact of this awful pandemic.”
Established in 1863, the Examiner was the flagship paper of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, founder of Hearst Corp., which publishes The Chronicle. Hearst sold the Examiner in 2000, and the newspaper has undergone several changes of ownership since then.
