The San Francisco Chronicle, self-described "Voice of the West," is Northern California's largest newspaper. Serving primarily the San Francisco Bay Area, but distributed throughout Northern California, including the Sacramento area and North Coast, it has a daily circulation of over 500,000. The paper has been owned by Hearst Communications, Inc. since July 27, 2000. At one time the Chronicle's competitor, The Examiner, made San Francisco a "two paper" town, even though both papers were printed and distributed by the same company. The Examiner still exists, but is now a free tabloid. More

The San Francisco Chronicle has a good round-up of the different offerings, including Palm's newly released Centro, a smaller version of its Treo smart phone. Sprint is pushing the HTC Touch, which boasts, yep, you guessed it, a nice touch screen interface. Nokia, the 800-lb gorilla of cell phone manufacturers, has been working on several fronts, and recently debuted its N810, an Internet tablet with a slide-out keyboard and enhanced multimedia features.—Gregory Mone

The San Francisco Chronicle is produced using the flexographic printing process. The "flexographic" process, unlike the "offset" process used by the majority of other papers (USA Today, NY Times, LA Times, etc.) is known for its inherent environmental benefits. These benefits include (a) the use of water based inks (eliminating the need for petroleum-based cleaners and extenders, eliminating ink rub-off and set-off, reduced show through, etc.) and (b) the ability to use lighter basis-weight (thinner) newsprint. Offset uses 30 lb and 32 lb newsprint, while flexo uses 27.7 lb newsprint.
