The Willits News is a twice weekly newspaper covering Willits, California and northern Mendocino County. It has been reporting on the community since 1903. It operates out of the offices of the Ukiah Daily Journal.[1]

Current

[edit]

The paper is owned by newspaper group MediaNews Group, a subsidiary of Alden Global Capital.[1][2] In late 2017 its Willits office was closed, and the paper began to operate out of the office of its mother paper, the Ukiah Daily Journal. Additionally, its editorial independence was curtailed, and it was brought under the direct control of the Ukiah Daily Journal in June 2016. The paper prints outside of Mendocino County and is trucked in for delivery.
