Company Info
Houston Chronicle
The Houston Chronicle is a prominent daily newspaper and the largest in Texas, established in 1901 by Marcellus E. Foster. It has served as Houston's primary newspaper of record and has a rich history, including the introduction of a Sunday edition with color comics in 1905. The newspaper was acquired by the Hearst Corporation in 1987 and became Houston's sole major daily after purchasing the assets of the Houston Post in 1995. The Chronicle provides comprehensive print and digital news coverage, focusing on local, regional, and national events, particularly those relevant to the Houston area. It is known for its investigative journalism, opinion sections, and lifestyle features, including the "Bayou City History" project that documents significant milestones in Houston's history. The newspaper also maintains a vast archive of over a century of content, supporting research and education. With a broad readership, it serves local residents, businesses, and academic institutions, leveraging its extensive circulation for advertising opportunities.
