The Daily News of San Francisco, California was a four-penny paper started in 1903. It was the smallest of the several newspapers in San Francisco. It advertised itself as the "friend of the working man." It was only distributed in working class districts: Mission District, Skid Row, South of the Slot. It specialized in short, easy-to-read stories one to two paragraphs long. After the 1906 earthquake, it operated out of a former 720 sq ft (67 m2) "relief house". In 1919 it had a circulation of about 18,000.[1] It was bought by E. W. Scripps and merged into the Scripps-Howard company in 1921.[3]
