The independently owned Los Angeles Times leads overall circulation, while Hearst publishes the historic San Francisco Chronicle, founded in 1865 to serve northern readers. Inland political reporting relies heavily on the McClatchy chain, which operates the Sacramento Bee, while coastal coverage includes the Alden Global Capital-owned Orange County Register. This market also sustains a highly influential ethnic press, notably spearheaded by La Opinion, the most-read Spanish-language daily published in the United States.
