Talking Back

An exclusive interview with Ted Fang, owner and publisher of the new S.F. Examiner

The deal is done. Last Friday the Hearst Corp. completed its purchase of the rival San Francisco Chronicle and kept its promise to sell its venerable San Francisco Examiner to the Fang family, publishers of AsianWeek. The deal makes the Fangs the first Asian American owners of a newspaper in a major metropolitan area. Hearst announced the changes in ownership a day after U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker ruled out antitrust questions in Hearst’s purchase of the Chronicle.

New owner and publisher Ted Fang speaks out about these most recent developments.
