What’s Up with the ‘Santa Barbara News-Press’?
Daily Paper's Editor Denies Rumors That the Paper Sold
Since last Friday, readers who subscribe to the Santa Barbara News-Press have been wondering what’s happened to their deliveries. Several went so far as to contact the Independent to ask if we knew what was going on.
We naturally turned to Edhat and NextDoor, where rumor and commentary are regularly contributed. Speculation ran from a belief that the lightweight, four-page paper had simply blown off every subscriber’s front porch to dark musings that the paper went out of business or had been sold.
Calls to people in the know turned up no one who knew anything. City Hall, which has been attempting to converse with the daily regarding De la Guerra Plaza, had no intel to share. The chorus of “Well, that’s interesting” led to one comment that the owner would never sell anything she owned.
