Peninsula Times Tribune

The Peninsula Times Tribune was a daily newspaper serving Palo Alto, Redwood City, and neighboring cities in the San Francisco Peninsula of California. It was published by the Tribune Newspaper Company from 1979 to 1993.

History

The Times Tribune was the result of a 1979 merger between the Palo Alto Times (which began in 1894)[1] and the Redwood City Tribune. The Times Tribune ceased publication on March 12, 1993. Circulation had fallen from 65,000 at the time of the merger to about 40,000, due to competition from the San Francisco Chronicle, San Jose Mercury News, and San Mateo County Times.[2] At the behest of the Palo Alto City Council, 39 file cabinets and 69 boxes of clippings were professionally archived in 1994 and distributed to local historical societies.[3]
