Times-Standard
The ''Times-Standard'' is the only major local daily newspaper covering the far North Coast of California. Headquartered in Eureka, the paper provides coverage of international, national, state and local news in addition to entertainment, sports, and classified listings. On the local level, the paper extensively covers all of Humboldt County while providing partial coverage of neighboring Del Norte, Mendocino, and Trinity counties. The newspaper is one of the oldest continuously published papers in all of California, with only several papers predating it by three years or less.
==History==
In 1854, the ''Humboldt Times'' began publishing in what is known today as Old Town Eureka. The first issue of the Humboldt Times was printed on September 2, 1854. Another daily newspaper, the Humboldt Standard, began publishing in 1875. After a lengthy period of spirited competition and then a period of joint ownership with separate operations, the two papers merged in 1967 to form what is now the ''Times-Standard''.〔(Honoring the 150th Anniversary of the Times-Standard ), ''Congressional Record'', November 18, 2004〕 According to the newspaper's "about us" section on its (web page ), moving day came on December 7, 1968. Staff writer Andrew Genzoli later recalled, "There hadn’t been so much excitement in the newsroom since Pearl Harbor".
Throughout its history Humboldt County has been the site of several county-wide or regional newspapers. They include the ''Humboldt Bay Journal'' (1865–1867), ''National Index'' (1867–1868), ''Humboldt Bay Democrat'' (1868), ''Northern Independent'' (1869–1872) and finally the ''West Coast Signal'' which began in 1871 and lasted until 1880. The advent of the telegraph in the 1870s encouraged the development of even more newspapers, some dailies and some weeklies. They included the ''Evening Star'' (1876–1878), ''Evening Herald'' (1879), ''Eureka News/News/Semi-Weekly News'' (1881) and finally ''Western Watchman'' (1884–1898) and ''Humboldt Mail'' (1887–1890). But the ''Times-Standard'' has been the only major daily newspaper of record for all Humboldt County for much of county's history. In 1967, it passed out of local, family ownership into a newspaper chain, Brush-Moore Newspapers, which was acquired by Thomson Newspapers the same year.〔(Two Dailies In Eureka Purchased By Brush-Moore )〕 Thomson owned the ''Times-Standard'' until 1996 when it was bought by Dean Singleton's MediaNews Group, which owns it to this day.〔
However, from 2003 to 2008, the ''Times-Standard'' was the subject of vigorous competition through the establishment of another daily newspaper, ''The Eureka Reporter''. But, Humboldt County and other areas of the North Coast (reached by local papers), though quite large in geographical terms, is a small population area to feature two daily newspapers. As a result, in late 2008 (after a brief period of reduced publication), The Eureka Reporter announced that it would cease operations. In early 2012, the paper stopped Monday delivery.〔(Going digital: Times-Standard to stop printing Monday editions this week )〕
