Did you know that Local Edition is located in the deep bellies of a historical San Francisco landmark? From 1911 - 1960, the historic Hearst building was home to the San Francisco Examiner. The 3rd & Market St. intersection became known as “newspaper angle” because of its odd shaped corner configuration and the neighboring newspaper agencies, the Call and the Chronicle. #throwbackthursday #sanfrancisco #hearst #fidi #localeditionsf
