Phil Bronstein was named executive vice president and editor of the San Francisco Chronicle in March 2003. He had been senior vice president and executive editor of the paper since November 2000.
Bronstein was formerly executive editor of the San Francisco Examiner. He was named executive editor of the Examiner in 1991, having previously served as managing editor for news. Bronstein began as a reporter with the newspaper 20 years ago.
At the Examiner, Bronstein specialized in investigative projects and was a foreign correspondent for eight years. He has won awards for his coverage of the Philippines from the Overseas Press Club, Associated Press, the World Affairs Council and Media Alliance. Bronstein was a 1986 Pulitzer Prize finalist for his work in the Philippines and went on to cover conflicts in other parts of Southeast Asia, El Salvador, Peru and the Middle East. Previously, he was a reporter with KQED-TV in San Francisco.
The Chronicle, with a circulation of more than 512,000 daily, is the largest newspaper in northern California and the second largest on the West Coast. It was founded in 1865 by Charles deYoung and Michael deYoung. The newspaper has been awarded five Pulitzer Prizes for journalistic excellence.[1]
It was reported in the O'Reilly that in late March 2007, Bronstein called an emergency staff meeting and reportedly stated that the news business "is broken, and no one knows how to fix it." This after several weeks of articles focused on the influence of the internet and the blogosphere made front page headlines in the Chronicle.
