Santa Barbara News-Press

The Santa Barbara News-Press is an American daily online newspaper based in Santa Barbara, California. Founded in 1868 as the Post, it was renamed the Press before ultimately merging with its rival News to form the News-Press in 1932. Formerly a daily broadsheet newspaper, the paper ceased printing and entered bankruptcy in 2023. Following purchase of the Santa Barbara News-Press assets out of bankruptcy, it relaunched in 2025 with backing from NEWSWELL, a non-profit that provides support to local news outlets.
