Daily newspaper serving Santa Barbara County since 1855. Includes local and world news, sports, business, and classifieds.
Goleta Valley Voice is a weekly newspaper published in Goleta California, Santa Barbara. This paper has the same owner as the Santa Barbara NewsPress.
In the summer of 1995, a new and unusual community newspaper made its first appearance. That first issue of “Gold Coast Journal, Montecito’s hometown newspaper” featured 16 pages and no advertising, but was chockfull of local news, something that Montecito had been without for over a year. The second issue, we became “Montecito Journal”, and have enjoyed 11 years (and counting) of publishing success. Beginning with 5,000 copies once a month, the Journal has grown to 12,000 every week: remarkable in a community with only 10,000 residents.
Online paper by Peter Skylar. Great for local race results, quirky contests, and creative content. Not our favorite for design & layout, but great for content. This paper also links to other local news sources for a variety of opinions on the same subject.
Online & print edition which mainly goes to UCSB students. Speaking with many students, the paper is actually read by most daily. Most writers are students and the articles are lacking professionalism, but there aren’t high standards for a college paper.
The most viewed local television channel in association with ABC. Santa Barbara news, sports, community events, and on-air personalities.
The alternative printed paper to the News Press. They cover typical topics such as sports, news, accidents, obituaries, classifieds, etc. Has more of an “alternative” twist to it than most papers.
