William Randolph Hearst began his newspaper empire in 1887 with the San Francisco Examiner. In the year 2000, the Hearst Corporation got rid of the Examiner and took over the San Francisco Chronicle. The Examiner folded and now Hearst is cutting the Chronicle staff to the bone. Ken Doctor worked for the late Knight-Ridder papers for 20 years. He's now an analyst for Outsell and Content Bridges, where he studies the transformation from print to digital publication.
