Steve Moss
Stephen Donnellan Moss (1948–2005) was an editor and publisher who founded two major weekly newspapers in California’s Central Coast and created the 55 Fiction short story contest.〔() Los Angeles Times〕
Moss founded the ''San Luis Obispo New Times'' with Beverly Johnson and Alex Zuniga in 1986. He financed it with a few thousand dollars raised by cashing in his IRA account and borrowing from his aunt, Professor Mary Josephine Moss of San Jose State University. By 2005, the paper had a circulation of over 20,000 and revenues exceeding $1,000,000. per year. In 2002 he launched the Santa Maria Sun in the city of Santa Maria, 30 miles south. He was the majority shareholder in the publishing corporation, and majority owner and builder of the 10,000 square foot headquarters building at 505 Higuera St., San Luis Obispo.
==Education and Career==
Moss attended Ventura College and Brooks Institute of Fine Art, and graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara, with a degree in fine art in 1975. He said he discovered his talent as a writer and editor in a UCSB class taught by Barry Farrell, west coast editor of Harper’s Magazine. Farrell brought his writer-friends Joan Didion and her husband John Gregory Dunne to the class, making a lasting impression. Moss and Farrell subsequently corresponded for many years, until Farrell's death.
Moss attended graduate school at Syracuse University, but left to become the editor in chief of the ''Syracuse New Times''. When his marriage to his college sweetheart Sharon Bywater ended in 1986, he returned to his native California. Given a choice between a job in the advertising department of a large international winery in Modesto, or one as editor of a senior citizen newspaper in San Luis Obispo, he chose the latter despite the lower pay. Before long he realized that there was no entertainment weekly in the college town, and planned the successful launch of ''New Times''.
