Whidbey News-Times is a twice-weekly (Wednesday and Saturday) newspaper published in Oak Harbor, Washington, United States covering general news on Whidbey Island. It is owned by Sound Publishing Inc., a subsidiary of Black Press. Its sister paper is the South Whidbey Record. Another sister paper, the Whidbey Examiner, was shuttered in 2017.[2]

History

[edit]

The newspaper was formed from the 1959 merger of the Island County Times (founded in Coupeville in 1891) with the Oak Harbor News,[3] and was acquired by Sound Publishing (then Whidbey Press) in 1987.[4] The News-Times was published in Oak Harbor until 2010, when its operations were merged with those of the Record in Coupeville, Washington.[3] It returned to Oak Harbor in 2020.[5]
