''The San Francisco Call'' was a newspaper that served San Francisco, California. Because of a succession of mergers with other newspapers, the paper variously came to be called ''The San Francisco Call & Post'', the ''San Francisco Call-Bulletin'', ''San Francisco News-Call Bulletin'', and the ''News-Call Bulletin'' before finally merging with the ''San Francisco Examiner'' and losing "news," "call," and "bulletin." ==History== Between December 1856 and March 1895 ''The San Francisco Call'' was named ''The Morning Call'', but its name was changed when it was purchased by John D. Spreckels. In the period from 1863 to 1864 Mark Twain worked as one of the paper's writers. In 1913 M. H. de Young, owner of the ''San Francisco Chronicle'', purchased the paper and sold it to William Randolph Hearst who brought in editor Fremont Older, former editor of the ''San Francisco Evening Bulletin''. In December of that year (1913), Hearst merged ''The San Francisco Call'' with the ''Evening Post'' and the papers became ''The San Francisco Call & Post''. Its most famous editor, crusading journalist Fremont Older agitated for years against civic corruption and colluded with wealthy San Franciscan sugar baron Rudolph Spreckels to bring down the Mayor, Eugene Schmitz and political boss, Abe Ruef. On 29 August 1929, the newspaper name was changed again to the ''San Francisco Call-Bulletin'', when the ''San Francisco Call & Post'' merged with the ''San Francisco Bulletin''. In 1959 the ''San Francisco Call-Bulletin'' merged with Scripps-Howard's ''San Francisco News'' becoming the ''News-Call Bulletin''. In 1965 the paper merged with the ''San Francisco Examiner''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「San Francisco Call」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
