Santa Cruz Sentinel could be next to be sold

Dow Jones is exploring the sale of the Santa Cruz Sentinel and some of the other newspapers owned by its Ottaway subsidiary. It may be the only significant (paid) daily newspaper between San Mateo/Contra Costa Counties and Monterey that is not owned by Dean Singleton’s MediaNews Group. MediaNews owns the Mercury News, San Mateo County Times, Oakland Tribune, Pacifica Tribune, Marin Independent Journal, Contra Costa Times, Monterey Herald, and a bunch of other papers in the Bay Area and Mendocino County..
