Houston Chronicle

Since 1901, the Houston Chronicle has kept residents informed with coverage of the biggest news in the Houston area. Today, the paper reports on national and local news, culture, and sports, and has updated its 2012 look with an easy-to-navigate, modern layout printed with advanced ink culled from a digital squid. When arriving at sections such as Business, Good Life, or City/State, readers discover a Chronicle columnist’s coverage of the topic’s current important news. Like old-school charades performances by the town crier, larger photographs help bring alive the paper’s features, especially the restaurant, theater, and bar reviews of its entertainment coverage.
