Santa Barbara News-Press
The ''Santa Barbara News-Press'' is a broadsheet newspaper based in Santa Barbara, California.
==History==
The News-Press asserts it is the oldest daily newspaper in Southern California, publishing since 1855. The oldest predecessor (the weekly Santa Barbara ''Post'') of the ''News-Press'' started publishing on May 30, 1868,〔(Santa Barbara - A Guide to the Channel City and its Environs, American Guide Series by the Southern California Writers' Project of the Works Project Administration, Hastings House Publishers, New York, 1941. )〕 and so the ''News-Press'' is actually younger than the ''Bakersfield Californian''. The Santa Barbara ''Post'' became the ''Santa Barbara Press'', which eventually became the ''Morning Press'' which was acquired in 1932 by Thomas M. Storke and merged with his paper, the Santa Barbara ''News'', to make the Santa Barbara ''News-Press''.〔The claim to 1855 rests upon a ''person'' named B.W. Keep who founded the Santa Barbara ''Gazette'' in 1855, who left the news business in 1858 or 1861, but then returned to the business when he helped found the Santa Barbara ''Democrat'' in 1878. The ''Democrat'' is one of the predecessors of the Santa Barbara ''News'', which merged with the ''Press'' in 1932.(Snug Spouts Blog, Aug. 3, 2006 )〕 Storke, a prominent local rancher and booster descended from the Spanish founders of Santa Barbara, brought the paper to prominence. For many years his father, Charles A. Storke, ran the editorial page; his son, Charles A. Storke II, oversaw operations between 1932 and 1960. In 1962, T.M. Storke won the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing "for his forceful editorials calling public attention to the activities of a semi-secret organization known as the John Birch Society". His children did not express interest in continuing to run the paper, however.
Storke then sold the paper in 1964 to Robert McClean,〔(Santa Barbara ''Independent,'' July 20, 2006 )〕 owner of the ''Philadelphia Bulletin'', who turned over publishing of the News-Press to one of his nephews, Stuart S. Taylor, father of writer Stuart Taylor, Jr.. (The ''Philadelphia Bulletin'' continued to be run by Robert McLean). In turn, the paper was sold to the ''New York Times'' in 1984. In 2000 the paper was bought by Wendy P. McCaw, an ex-wife of billionaire Craig McCaw.〔(Forbes.com, Sep. 22, 2002 )〕〔(Seattle Weekly, July 20, 2006 )〕〔(Seattle Times, May 5, 1997 )〕
