In a deal made official on April 1, San Diego Community
Newspaper Group purchased five of San Diego Community News Network’s six
publications.
Julie Main, owner and publisher of San Diego
Community Newspaper Group, adds San Diego Uptown News, San Diego Downtown News,
Mission Times Courier, and La Mesa Courier to the company’s stable of La Jolla
Village News, Peninsula Beacon, and Beach & Bay Press newspapers.
Included in the purchase was Mission Valley
News, which will be discontinued. San Diego Community News Network retained Gay
San Diego as its only publication.
As a result of the purchase, the bi-weekly
Beach & Bay Press will move from publishing on Thursdays to coming out on
Fridays, starting with this week’s edition.
With the addition of San Diego Community News
Network’s papers, Main runs the largest
independent newspaper group in the region. As a woman in the male-dominated
media industry, this marks a significant achievement.
