The Santa Barbara News-Press has now gone more than three weeks without a printed edition, and it’s unclear when or if Santa Barbara’s oldest daily newspaper will resume circulating a physical publication.

Asked about the situation on Friday, News-Press Managing Editor Dave Mason referred Noozhawk to a June 21 article:

“Printing of the News-Press is being temporarily suspended because of power issues at our Goleta plant,” the article states. “But you can continue to look at the pages online each day in the virtual edition at newspress.com. We will let you know when the usual printing and delivery resume. We appreciate your patience.”

He said he had no further comment.

In addition to the impact on the News-Press itself, other publications used the company’s plant in Goleta to print their newspapers.

Among them is the Ojai Valley News. On June 29, that newspaper said that it and three other publications had to find a new place to print.

“The OVN and three other local papers that were printed on the press in Goleta — Montecito Journal, The Daily Nexus, and Vida of Oxnard — were given three days to find another printer as the presses belonging to the Santa Barbara News-Press had stopped running,” the article states.

The article states that the Ojai Valley News moved its printing to a plant in the city of Ontario.

The city of Santa Barbara said it was unaffected by the printing stoppage because it circulates all of its legals in the Voice Magazine.
