Word on street: clutch that SF Chronicle printed paper--what's left of it--it could be bye-bye sooner rather than later.
If the Chronicle wipes out its printed paper in 2023 I won't be shocked.
*As long as John Shea and Scott Ostler are writing, I'm reading either the paper or yeah, online.
Ann was positively cozy the other night with Chron NFL scribbler, Mike Silver, who I guess was teaching Ann the fine arts of scoring. Either that, or Ann decided to fumble on purpose upon Mikey's obnoxious giggle.
Could be the start of a budding romance or if Ann wakes up in horror, decides to write Mike was guilty of unsportsmanlike conduct.
*Speaking of lean, the newsroom of every Bay Area TV station on weekends. More janitors and monitors than actual people. Sign of the times.
*A new KRONvict at KRON, we welcome Tiffany Justice to the Bay Area.
Assuming Starbucks hasn't moved out of Downtown SF.
Rich wants to have breakfast at Tiffany's.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone go to Starsux anymore?
ReplyDeleteYes... A LOT of people still go there. Believe it or not their business is still growing.
Delete“Speaking of lean, the newsroom of every Bay Area TV station on weekends. More janitors and monitors than actual people.”
ReplyDeleteI work at a Bay Area TV station and this statement is accurate with one caveat: at least at my station the ‘monitors’ aren’t tv and video displays. They’re hallway, newsroom, breakroom, and parking lot monitors (aka, human spies and gossip mongers).
It sounds like we’re co-workers.
DeletePam and Gasia work weekends now?
DeleteAnn looking pretty hot in that pic
ReplyDeleteYou must be crazy
DeleteNo love for kronvict Stephanie Lin?
ReplyDeleteI love combo of Lin, Bellows, Harvey, Grogan and Horton, Folsom no
DeleteTiffany Justice has that look of being on the anchor chair. "Diva" Darya better be on alert...
ReplyDeleteI don’t know why they keep Stephanie Lin hidden on weekend mornings. She could be anchoring weeknights on any of stations here.
DeleteStephanie can stay on weekend mornings
DeleteThe Chron no longer does home delivery. You get it in the mail, the next day. Talk about old news. Very sad. Then again, the Sunday paper is mostly reprints from website stories posted during the week. Hardly worth it anymore
ReplyDeleteTheir website is mostly SSDD.
DeleteDoes former main stream media,
ReplyDelete(Radio, TV, newspapers and magazines,) even exist anymore?
These big predatory media companies that own them have sliced and diced, downsized and eliminated so many jobs that virtually everyone is now forced to go online and look at their phones or their computers. There is very little true journalism left in America. It’s one of the big reasons why we have such a misinformed public. Most would rather get their news off of “entertainment” television or go to Facebook or some other social media platform to read the gossip and nonsense and misinformation that are the daily fare. It’s truly ironic to live in an age where instant information is on a 24 hour cycle, yet we are seem informed than before. That’s because there is ,
a sizable percentage of our citizens who are too lazy to look for themselves at credible news sources.
The mainstream media has no advertising revenue. Those annoying ads that pop up on your phone and iPad? The ones I and most people I know block with ad blockers. That’s where the advertising dough now goes.
DeleteStill have home delivery on the Peninsula..& South Bay. Keep it coming..I need my Hearst Pension!@
ReplyDeleteMaybe the SF Chron's editors should ask the very folks who they'd like to purchase their newspaper, ask them directly how to make the paper more appealing. I expect the answer would be to focus att'n on important news, weather, sports, comics, puzzles, broadcast tv & radio listings. I have the sense the editors don't really care what the readers want; the editorial policy is to satisfy the advertisers, the suits upstairs, local & state politicos, and the business community.
ReplyDeleteSeems to me like the Chronicle's editorial policy is to push a particular agenda. And that agenda has done a lot to harm SF and the Bay Area.
DeleteA number of automakers will not have AM radios as standard equipment in there 2025 models going forward.
ReplyDeleteMongo
What a babe.
ReplyDeleteRIP to printed newspapers.
ReplyDeleteI was a subscriber of the SF Chronicle for over 40 years. But I couldn’t take it anymore. Thinner and thinner paper with fewer and fewer reporters. They can’t even give you game stories from the Giants and Warriors the next day because they go to press so early to cut costs. So they tell you to go to SF Gate instead. Right! And then they have the audacity to charge $500 plus for a year’s subscription. I guess they could care less about people who still like to actually READ a newspaper and who have been loyally supporting them for years. Sorry guys but AP wire copy and a. shrinking staff and fewer columnists is not cutting it. I know more and more people are staying away from the traditional morning after afternoon papers, but the Chronicle was a last paper that still seemed to cater to it’s readers. No more. Good bye and good riddance!
ReplyDeleteThey have no advertising revenue. Those annoying ads that pop up on your phone and iPad? The ones I and most people I know block with ad blockers. That’s where the advertising dough now goes.
DeleteThe Chron runs stories that are more like editorials. You need to quote all sides, even if it doesn’t support your agenda. Readers aren’t dumb and it’s poor journalism.
ReplyDeleteIs Tiffany single?
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful.
Too much makeup
DeleteShe's Korean and Black American, beautiful
DeleteI was a paperboy in the mid 60's SF; back then we were considered "Newspaper Dealers" meaning if a bum skips and moved away you were on the hook for the couple dollars; if I know then what I know now we would've sue them for taking advantage of minors, no regrets about their impending demise due to poor writers, contents and bias
Delete@1:23 and 4:04 are correct; Tiffany is indeed beautiful.
Delete@7:49, there's none to speak of unlike the
fake spray-on tans and heavy makeup worn by most others.
Tiffany Justice. Sounds like a porn star.
ReplyDeleteThe Comical gives new meaning to the old saying, “it’s not worth the paper it’s printed on.”
ReplyDeletePerhaps they’d be in *slightly* better financial shape had they not wasted all their money hiring an army of moronic bird-brained assmats for their clickbait rag, SFGate. You know, their cadre of 20-something wannabe influencers who write nonstop about burritos, purple houses, and the “best” this and the “best” that (never mind the fact most have lived in the Bay Area for 4 years max).
The Chronicle will soon be a pamphlet.
ReplyDeletePrinting a newspaper makes no sense. I'm 60 years old and read everything online. Who on Earth is still reading a disposable, one time and toss it newspaper? The cost to serve a very old audience who want to read a paper simply doesn't pencil out. A monthly, glossy magazine makes some sense. People can leave it on their coffee table or doctor's office and the advertiser gets a nice ad that may be seen more than once. My news organizations used to print a quarterly newspaper. All very nice, great graphics, etc. It cost us a fortune. We haded out a bunch at an event. The younger folks wouldn't touch them and the older folks read the paper and left it on their chairs. Those few who still want the printed, folder, award newspaper treat it as something to read and toss or put on the bottom of the birdcage. When it was the main way people got printed news and advertising, all of those downside costs made sense, They haven't since the turn of the century,

ReplyDeleteThey're looking into it.
