King County Journal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The King County Journal was a newspaper published in Kent, Washington. It was a combination of the old Valley Daily News of Kent and the Journal-American of Bellevue, which merged when they were bought by Peter Horowitz. Sound Publishing, a subsidiary of Black Publishing of Canada, bought the paper in 2006, and closed the paper on January 21, 2007. The paper had been losing money since 1994, while circulation had dropped to 39,100.[1]
Before its purchase by Black Publishing, the King County Journal also published nine community newspapers ranging from Bothell/Kenmore to Kent. Two were published weekly, while the other seven were published twice monthly. With the closure of the Journal, Black has announced increased frequency in the papers: all will be published either weekly or twice weekly beginning in early 2007.
