San Francisco Examiner Turns Into Giveaway Paper


Proclaiming news should be free, the San Francisco Examiner began a new life on Monday as a giveaway paper just days after firing most of its staff in a fight to survive against a far larger and wealthier rival.

"Free!," the paper's banner headline read. "A first for our city -- a daily newspaper you don't have to pay for."
