On July 13, the free San Francisco Examiner plans to publish, for the first time, its redesigned Sunday edition.

"Consumers and advertisers alike confirm the significant value provided by our subscription-free newspapers and the Examiners' strong emphasis on local news," said Ryan McKibben, Clarity Media Group CEO, in May.

The edition will feature a review of weekly news, as well as local news that will include expanded features like opinion and environmental focus.

"It's no secret that this is a very difficult period for our industry. But it's actually an exciting time when one has the necessary talent and is sufficiently nimble and innovative -- to effectively meet the demands of rapidly changing markets," McKibben said.

The last Weekend edition of the Examiner was printed last Saturday.
