New Examiner, New Voice

Exclusive Interview with Publisher Ted Fang

After months of lawsuits, deals and high drama, the new Examiner hit the streets on November 22. By providing a fresh perspective on this city and its changing demographics, San Franciscans now have real choice in where they get their morning news. Reflected in Examiner’s pages is the fact that 30 percent of its staff are people of color. Indeed, publisher Ted Fang takes pride in this, pointing out that 39 percent of all newsrooms in America have not even one single minority. Here, Fang talks about the paper, his experiences, as well as his family’s place in history as the first Asian American owners of a major metropolitan daily.
