''The Press-Enterprise'' is a daily newspaper published by the Press-Enterprise Corp. that serves the Inland Empire in Southern California. Headquartered in downtown Riverside, California, it is the primary newspaper for Riverside County, with heavy penetration into neighboring San Bernardino County. The geographic circulation area of the newspaper spans from the border of Orange County, California to the west, east to the Coachella Valley, north to the San Bernardino Mountains, and south to the San Diego County line. The newspaper traces its roots to ''The Press'', which began publishing in 1878, and ''The Daily Enterprise'', which started publishing in 1885. The two papers were merged into one company in 1931, but the company did not begin publishing a daily morning paper named ''The Press-Enterprise'' until 1983. A. H. Belo acquired the company in 1998. In October 2013, A.H. Belo announced that it had reached an agreement to sell The Press-Enterprise's assets to Freedom Communications, parent company of the Orange County Register, for $27 million;〔http://bizbeatblog.dallasnews.com/2013/10/ah-belo-selling-press-enterprise-to-freedom-communications.html/〕 after some delays, the transaction closed in late November.〔Ken Bensinger, ("Sale of Riverside Press-Enterprise to Aaron Kushner closes, finally" ), ''Los Angeles Times'', November 21, 2013.〕 ''The Press-Enterprises local competitors are the ''San Bernardino Sun'' and the ''Inland Valley Daily Bulletin'', along with sharing some of its western circulation areas with the ''Orange County Register'' and ''The Californian'' (of Temecula) in the southwest area. ==History== The ''Riverside Press'' was first published on June 29, 1878 by James Roe, a druggist and teacher.〔Patterson, Tom. ''A Colony For California'', Second Edition, 1996. Page 55.〕 In 1880 Roe sold the newspaper to Luther M. Holt, who, for several years, published the paper under the name the ''Riverside Press and Horticulturist''. In 1886 Holt began issuing the paper daily.〔The Press-Enterprise, ''Press Into The Past'', ''1878-2007: A Press-Enterprise Timeline'', April 20, 2007〕 ''The Riverside Daily Enterprise'' was first published in 1885 by David F. Sarber, and became a county paper in 1896 when it absorbed the ''Perris Valley Record'' and the ''Moreno Valley Indicator''. The paper was published somewhat sporadically through 1911 by various owners, and under various names, including; ''Riverside Weekly Enterprise'', ''Riverside Semi-weekly Enterprise'', ''Weekly Enterprise'', and the ''Morning Mission''. In 1912, The Enterprise was sold to the owners of the San Bernardino ''Sun''.〔 In 1931 ''The Press'' purchased ''The Enterprise'' from the ''San Bernardino Sun''. The newly combined company issued ''The Enterprise'' in the morning, and ''The Press'' in the evenings. In 1954 the Riverside Press changed its company name to the Press-Enterprise Company, and in 1955 the two papers began printing a joint Sunday edition called the ''Sunday Press-Enterprise''. Due to market conditions, the two papers were combined into one morning paper, ''The Press-Enterprise'', in 1983.〔 The A.H. Belo Corporation, based in Dallas purchased The Press-Enterprise Company from the Hays family through multiple acquisitions in 1997 and 1998.
