Sonoran News is a free weekly newspaper in Cave Creek, Arizona, United States.[1] With a circulation of over 37,000,[2] it is the most widely read weekly in Maricopa County.[1] It is sold in Cave Creek, Carefree, Scottsdale, and Phoenix.[1] It is considered a right-wing newspaper,[3][4] and bills itself as the "conservative voice of Arizona."[5]

In 2010, an "advertising slump" pushed the paper into publishing in print less than weekly.[5]

Controversies

In 2002, the publisher of the Sonoran News was accused of cybersquatting on the domain of a rival newspaper to reduce its findability.[6]

In 2009, the Sonoran News successfully defended itself against a libel lawsuit from rival paper The Desert Advocate,[7] which the Sonoran News had referred to as the "Deadbeat Advocate", citing the owner's non-payment of back taxes.[8]
