The Alameda Journal was weekly newspaper published in Alameda, California,[1][2] from 1987 until 2016, when it was merged into the East Bay Times.
History
[edit]In April 1987, publisher John Crittenden and general manager John McNulty published the first edition of the weekly Alameda Journal.[3] In 1992, Hills Newspapers, Inc. acquired the paper. By then the Journal had expanded to a twice-weekly with a circulation of 30,000. Warren "Chip" Brown owned and operated the company.[4]
In 1998, Hills Newspapers was acquired by Knight Ridder and the chain was merged into its subsidiary, Contra Costa Newspapers.[5] In 2006, McClatchy agreed to purchase Knight Ridder,[6] and this resulted in the Journal being sold to MediaNews Group.[7]
In 2014, the Journal ceased free delivery of the paper, requiring those wishing for delivery to subscribe to the Oakland Tribune.[8] In 2016, the Journal was consolidated into the East Bay Times.[9][10]
