Contra Costa Times
The ''Contra Costa Times'' is a daily newspaper based in Walnut Creek, California, U.S.. The paper serves Contra Costa and eastern Alameda counties, in the eastern part of the San Francisco Bay Area. The ''Times'' also publishes four other editions under different titles (''West County Times'', ''East County Times'', ''San Ramon Valley Times'', and ''Valley Times'') but essentially the same content, serving distinct communities within its circulation area. In 2007 the Contra Costa Times was merged with ANG Newspapers to form a new entity called Bay Area News Group-East Bay, which is in turn owned by MediaNews Group. It is currently published as an edition of the ''San Jose Mercury News''.
The final editions of the newspaper under the names The ''Contra Costa Times, San Ramon Valley Times, East County Times, Tri-Valley Herald'' and ''San Joaquin Herald'' were scheduled to be published on November 1, 2011, however BANG announced on October 27, 2011 that it would retain several of the mastheads and combine the ''Tri-Valley Herald'' and ''San Joaquin Herald,'' along with the ''The Valley Times'' under a new ''Tri-Valley Times'' masthead. Other BANG mastheads to be retained included the ''Oakland Tribune, Hayward Daily Review, Fremont Argus'' and ''West County Times'' which were to be combined under a new ''East Bay Tribune'' title.
==History==
The original ''Contra Costa Times'' was founded by Dean Lesher in 1947, and served central Contra Costa, especially Walnut Creek. However, Lesher began expanding by purchasing weekly newspapers in neighboring communities, as well as two eastern Contra Costa daily papers, the ''Antioch Ledger'' and the ''Pittsburg Post-Dispatch''. Originally the weekly newspapers were free for shoppers, but Lesher gradually converted the papers to "controlled circulation" in 1962, an aggressive and expensive new strategy that called for free delivery of a copy to every household while asking readers to voluntarily buy subscriptions. Ultimately, the weeklies were converted into zoned daily editions called the ''West County Times'' (serving Richmond, El Cerrito, and western Contra Costa County), ''San Ramon Valley Times'' (serving the suburbs of the San Ramon Valley south of Walnut Creek) and the ''Valley Times'' (serving Livermore and the suburbs of eastern Alameda County), and the two East Contra Costa dailies were merged into a single edition, the ''Ledger-Dispatch'', which gradually faded away, first being reduced to a thrice-weekly insert in the Contra Costa Times, then being replaced outright by the ''East County Times.''
The ''Times'' still produces 11 weekly community newspapers focusing on local news: ''Brentwood News'' (Brentwood, the town), ''Walnut Creek Journal'' (Walnut Creek), ''Concord Transcript'' (Concord), ''Lamorinda Sun'' (Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda), ''Pleasant Hill/Martinez Record'' (Pleasant Hill and Martinez), ''West County Weekly'', and the components of the old Hills Newspapers chain ''The Montclarion'' (The Oakland hills neighborhood of Montclair), ''The Piedmonter'' (Piedmont), ''Alameda Journal'' (Alameda), ''Berkeley Voice'' (Berkeley), and ''El Cerrito Journal'' (El Cerrito).
